Question regarding installation of Netscape for VROC

4 posts by 4 people · 15 Jan 1999 - 15 Jan 1999

Well, i've practiced this sim since it first came out and I'm down to a 1:30.09 at Monza and 1:06.45 at WG both with Lotus on default setup. My consistency is OK and I recon I'm ready for a bit of online shenanigans(sp?). I currently use IE3 and have a question I'd like to ask before I install netscape to enable the use of VROC. Will installing netscape override IE3? I would prefer, if possible, to continue using IE3 as my default browser. Part of the same question I guess, but would someone reassure me that the version of netscape which I need to install is not going to take over my whole system ala IE4. Thanks Mike Armstrong

get GPLSL instead, then you don't have to get Netscape - it works with any browser. Alan.
>Will installing netscape override IE3? I would prefer, if possible, >to continue using IE3 as my default browser. It shouldn't. Netscape asks you if you want to make it the default browser. Sometimes these programs ignore you, but it's easy to change back. I am just using Netscape 4.08 (which, at least a few weeks ago, was the latest version of the standalone browser - without all the e-mail and other clients) and it works fine. My advice is go for it. Racing on VROC is great fun. Dave Ewing

When Netscape says that it is not the default browser, just put an X in the box (that says do not ask again) and select the choice that will *not* make Netscape the default. Installing the standalone browser will not try anything 'funny'. The Communicator Suite will install an AOL messanger thingy, but don't worry. Just open it up. Pretend you are going to apply for it, but goto the options menu and click "do not startup automatically on boot". There, now go for it!
