Really really really irritated
Ya would think...
that in this day and age, with all the controversy over software, ESPECIALLY browser software, making changes to your computer's configuration without your permission....
that a test installation of Netscape Version 8 (to which I am NOT going to link)
would not have broken all my file associations for Internet Explorer, and would not have mysteriously broken other programs, such as Mindjet's MindManager, to the point where I am reinstalling essential programs without which I cannot live. OK, that was overly dramatic.
I am careful when installing programs, and select a custom installation if it's available so that I can control the installation as much as possible. The Netscape installation didn't ask me if I wanted to make Netscape 8 my default browser, or if it did, that question went right by me. I plan to uninstall and reinstall to see if somehow I was at fault.
The real shame is that Netscape 8 looked like a carefully thought out version.
More later after I get myself out of this mess. I just realized I can't create links in this blog using Internet Explorer, some essential Javascript engine piece is broken.
Very very very irritated.
