    Hello! I'm new to this place and I'm pretty much a dunce when it comes to computers. I've recently tried to install Netscape 7.2 and I've got a problem. Every time I try to install it, I keep getting an error message that reads "Cannot create temp directory ". I thought this was just a Netscape glitch, so I tried installing Mozilla and I got the same error message. What's going on here? How do I fix this? I have a feeling I'll come across this problem with every browser I try to install, not just Netscape and Mozilla ones.

    Welcome to the Forum, NaitoTheShinobi!

    NaitoTheShinobi,

    Navigate to your C:\WINDOWS\temp folder. Delete the entire contents of the folder.

    Can you install Netscape Now?

    Yes! It worked! Thanks Ramona. I guess those 1, 338 temp files were enough to clog up Netscape's installation. 0_o
