The steps are as follows:
- Go to http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/archive.jsp
- Choose the desired version of Netscape from the displayed
list.
- You will be brought to a page where you can select the version,
release and language you want under the 'Download' section. Select
the release and language you would like to download and click on
the highlighted 'Download' next to the version that is compatible
with your Operating System.
- You will be given the standard Windows Save File dialog boxes.
Choose a folder to save the file in, and click 'OK'.
- Follow these instructions to install your browser:
- As you download your Netscape product, be sure to note the
folder to which you are downloading the software.
- Find the folder the file was downloaded into and double-click
on the file. At the dialog box asking whether you want to install
the software, click Yes. You will be taken to the installer
program.
- In the installer, you will see a series of setup screens. Be
sure to read and follow the instructions on each screen carefully.
You will be asked to read and agree to a license agreement, choose
a location in which to install the software, and choose or create
the folder name for the program.
- If you install your new software into the Netscape folder that
contains your current version of the product, your old version will
be overwritten, but you can still use your existing bookmarks,
preferences, and settings. If you wish to keep a copy of the old
version as a backup, simply create a new folder for the software
you are about to install.
- Once you see the prompt telling you that installation is
complete, go to the folder where you installed your new software.
Double-click on the Navigator application icon to launch your new
browser.
Special note for Communicator users: If you are
using Netscape Communicator you must ensure that you download a new
version of Netscape Communicator and not Netscape Navigator.
Otherwise you will lose your e-mail, bookmarks, and newsgroups.
Netscape Navigator is a stand-alone product. No e-mail and
newsgroup viewers are included. |
