Also this week, we look at welcome changes in Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and note the releases of Suitcase 10.1.3, Netscape 7, and the return of the Palm Conduit for Entourage X.

If IE is installed you might need to rebuild your desktop." I do have IE installed (this is the first time a link has not worked) and I've rebuilt my desktop a dozen times. I've run NU and Techtool lite. I can't find anything in the preferences of either program that would fix this problem. This seems to have happened out of the blue. It's driving me crazy! Anyone have any solutions or ideas? Please email me with your answers. Thanks, Chris fractured555@earthlink.net ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2002 20:03:38 -0400 From: "Peter J.

Any ideas? Peter J. Paul -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
