User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

I already have Netscape 7.1 installed. I read to establish a new profile before
installing Mozilla. Did this. Installed Mozilla, it asked which profile to use,
I chose the new one, a few seconds of HD churning and crash. Note, this same
error occurs in Netscape 7.1 I use when attempting to display yenc mail, on some
web searches and rarely when I scroll down email in my inbox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Mozilla, it brings up profile list.
2.Choose Profile
3.Crash

Actual Results:  
I get a gpf error in GDI.EXE. Mozilla crashes and exits. I have never run
Mozilla 1.5 successfully.

Expected Results:  
Opened up profile and continued on.

MOZILLA caused a general protection fault
in module GDI.EXE at 0014:000007b6.

Which graphic card and driver Do you use ?

ATI Radeon 7500 with Catalyst 2.5 driver.
Can you try to upgrade the driver ?
3.1 seems the be the newest one for the RADEON.
I upgraded to 3.1. No change.
What happens if you bypass the profile manager (i.e. start Mozilla with mozilla
-p <yourProfileName>)
Does it crash too?
You will have to excuse me, how do I bypass the profile manager? If you could,
give me a step by step. Thanks!
Reporter: please try again with a recent nightly build from
<http://ftp.eu.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/> - you
probably want mozilla-i586-pc-msvc.zip.
The nightly build worked! Mozilla is up and running. Just so I will know, how
will I be able to update this version as updates cme up and where?

Thanks again!
WFM then :)

Reporter: I'm sorry to say it, but you can't "update" Mozilla. You have to
completely delete and then reinstall/unzip a new build every time.
Please remember that the build you are running now (nightly) is a test-build,
and is not meant for end-users, really. You should update to 1.7 when it is
released.

Thanks again.

I will see if 1.7 will install when it comes out.
