NN4.7 Screwy on Win 2000?

Safe enought to ignore?

[knighty]

Yeah, yeah I know NN4.7 is less than stable on ANY platform but I have noticed things are susbstantially worse on win2k.

The same pages on < win2k are not perfect but passable. I'm guessing that if you have win 2000 then its probably a safe bet they dont have NN4.7?

Can I just ignore the wierdness and pass it off as NN not being fully compatible with this version of windows?

What kind of symptoms do you have. I'm running it on my box and everything seems the same as on the lesser Win versions.

Most people running Win2k will probably be running either whatever IE came pre-installed, or they're savvy enough to have installed an alternate, and newer, browser...

I'm betting that most NN4.7 users are running older computers of approximately the same vintage as NN4.7 itself.

I have had problems with win 2k running lots of things and NN4.x is one of them. I think we put a version 6 NN on them with no trouble but the 4's didn't quite act normally.

>>What kind of symptoms do you have

Layers appearing/dissapearing for no apparent reason which doesnt seem to happen on older versions of Windows.

But like Mivox said is anyone on 2000 really going to download NN4.X?

It's not impossible - but more likely in business than the home.

Consider this:

1) Netscape JUST released Netscape 4.8.
2) There are organizations with very strict security requirements and overtaxed IT departments - maybe just one person.
3) Such companies may stay away from the current crop of advanced DOM browsers for now because of known or not-yet-discovered security holes. They use NN4 to play it very safe, and those companies may well be running Win2K.
