subject: Communicator Fatal Error

MR> SB> I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.04 with Warp4 FP9 and Java
MR> SB> 1.1.7. Communicator was working fine but it is now failing to
MR> SB> load with a Fatal Error  box "Unable to parse OS2PREF.JS.
MR> SB> Exiting". Any ideas how  to remedy this error?
MR>
MR> The only time I've seen this problem is when Netscape doesn't know
MR> where it's located.  It determines that from an INI entry in the
MR> OS2.INI file, which won't be there if you go back to an archive from
MR> before Netscape was installed, or re-install OS/2.
MR>
MR> If that's your problem, the following should solve it for you:

I've had considerable trouble with Netscape nuking my prefs.js file (as 
well as my bookmarks.htm file!). I keep a back of prefs.js to make re-
editing a little easier. I would first try renaming your prefs.js to 
"prefs.screwed.up" and see if Netscape recreates it.

Good luck and TTYL.
