Follow these
instructions to install your browser: |
|
- As you download your Netscape
product, be sure to note the folder to which you are downloading
the software.
- Find the folder the file was
downloaded into and double-click on the file. At the dialog box
asking whether you want to install the software, click Yes. You
will be taken to the installer program.
- In the installer, you will see
a series of setup screens. Be sure to read and follow the
instructions on each screen carefully. You will be asked to read
and agree to a license agreement, choose a location in which to
install the software, and choose or create the folder name for the
program.
- If you install your new
software into the Netscape folder that contains your current
version of the product, your old version will be overwritten, but
you can still use your existing bookmarks, preferences, and
settings. If you wish to keep a copy of the old version as a
backup, simply create a new folder for the software you are about
to install.
- Once you see the prompt
telling you that installation is complete, go to the folder where
you installed your new software. Double-click on the Navigator
application icon to launch your new browser.

| Special note for Macintosh
users: SmartDownload does NOT currently work with the
Macintosh. You will have to use the 'Download without
SmartDownload' option.
|
| Special note for Communicator
users: If you are using Netscape Communicator you must ensure
that you download a new version of Netscape Communicator and not
Netscape Navigator. Otherwise you will lose your e-mail, bookmarks,
and newsgroups. Netscape Navigator is a stand-alone product. No
e-mail and newsgroup viewers are
included. | |
