Hanging When Closing NS7

I have two profiles set-up within NS7. When I close NS7 (to move to the other profile or do other work), the application does not appear to shut down entirely.

Before I can access the other profile, or access the same profile again, I must first hit Alt>Control>Delete, select Netscape, and wait for the End Task authorization to appear. Once that process is completed, I can launch NS7 again.

Any suggestions to exit that would avoid this process before re-launching?

 

"Phantom" Netscape Revisited!

Hi BirdieBob,

This smacks of Communicator's Phantom Netscape problem, although the workaround is a a bit different. This is the information I received from hb on the Netscape NG:

EDIT | MAIL & NEWS ACCOUNTS | POP 3 ACCOUNT | SERVER SETTINGS
Disable: "empty trash on exit"

Let us know if this works. If so, I'll put this on my Solutions page.

Thanks!

Ramona:

I'd love to add to your solutions page but we're not there with this one yet.

I removed the checks from Empty Trash Upon Exit for the pop3 server settings in each profile. I also removed the checks from Expunge Inbox Upon Exit for the imap server settings in each profile (just in case). I then opened a profile and:

1. Exited each profile and tried to re-launch the same profile.

2. Exited each profile and tried to launch the other profile.

The results were unchanged. 7.0 could not be re-launched without first hitting Alt>Control>Delete or rebooting.

Any other suggestions? Thanks.

 

BirdieBob,

Do you by chance have QuickLaunch enabled? If so disable, restart Netscape, and see if this helps.

Ramona:

Quick Launch was and is disabled.

Keep rummaging through the vault and pass any other thoughts as they surface.

 

I shall return.....
