Killing it with Netscape active will kill any Netscape windows (including any newsreader/composer/etc windows). In some cases when Netscape dies or 'hangs', this process remains active and can cause problems. So when that happens, you want to make sure to kill the process before starting Netscape again. If you have further problems with this process, then netscape support would probably be a better place to start. === Subject: Re: ld-linux.so.2 From: Hal Burgiss <hburgiss@bellsouth.net> Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 07:46:51 -0500 Is Netscape running? Try killing that. ===
