| 192705 | 2003-11-17 08:34:00 | I downloaded Firebird and Thunderbird from Mozilla.org... extracted the files. Tried running the executables on Windows 98. For both applications, upon launching the application, Kerio alerts me a program is starting, and I allow it. However, nothing further happens. If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, it shows the application as running, but there is otherwise no sign of it running. No window, nothing on the taskbar, etc. Trying to delete the folder (since I can't make use of it) simply results in "Access Denied... file in use", and will require a reboot (or killing the app using Task Manager) before I can delete it. Has anyone else had this problem? |

Does it happen if you run one app at a time? |

| 192710 | 2003-11-17 21:23:00 | Then no I have'nt had the problem. I run both on windows 98 and OS/2 with no major hiccups. | mark.p (383) | ||
| 192711 | 2003-11-17 22:12:00 | Do your other downloaded programs end up working OK? | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 192712 | 2003-11-17 22:19:00 | You could give Mozilla a try as well to see what happens. It icorperates both the browser,e-mail and a few other goodies. | mark.p (383) | ||
| 192713 | 2003-11-18 00:45:00 | Every single other download I do works perfectly (unless it corrupts). The archives didn't say anything about being inexplicably cut-off or anything, so I doubt the downloads were corrupted. Still, I have yet to try them on XP... Nope, it works perfectly in XP. Aside from the multitude of firewall alerts (I'm pretty darned sure Mozilla caused far more than IE did before I made a rule for it). |

| 192714 | 2003-11-18 00:57:00 | Try this-surf the internet for 1/2 an hour using IE than run adaware. Delete the crap picked up. Do the same with Mozilla and compare the results......... |
