Netscape 8.1 crashes system

Netscape 8.1 downloaded and operated fine for a couple of days but crashes my system completely every time I try to use it today. I'm running 2000 Pro and have tried 5 or 6 times with and without other apps running. IE and Netscape 7 are running fine.

I found Netscape kept hanging after the upgrade to version 8.1. It just didn't work properly at all. The answer was to delete Netscape 8.04 entirely, including the Profiles folder (C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Netscape). It installed properly and worked well after that. Perhaps this would be the answer for your own difficulties.

It may have something to do with the profiles.
