37642 2002-03-02 22:07:00 Iam trying to load Netscape from a PCWorld cd. When double clicking on the zip file the install starts then a message comes up saying there may be not enough space in the temp directory and aborts. Any suggestions please. Guest (0)

Second: it will need a LOT of space to unpack it. How much space have you got free? You might have to dispose of a lot of temporary files, do a defrag etc.

The message coming up reads:
The decompression of %s failed. There may not be enough free disk space available in the temp directory.
Would appreciate your input again.

Sometimes if you have alot of junk in your C:/windows/temp folder programs have trouble unpacking themselves. Try deleting everything from the temp folder I mentioned above and run the install again.

And double check you have at least 100 megs free to begin with.
