Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020618 Netscape/7.0b1

I have tried nightly builds, and also 1.2b, and have deleted all prior files,
but alas, I cannot get Mozilla to load, nor can I get it to operate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Downloaded Mozilla
2.Removed all prior files, and reinstalled the software, at this point, I can
get it to load.
3.Reboot the system, from there, it will never start the program.

Actual Results:  
No browser, will only give me the splash screen

Expected Results:  
It should have loaded, and ran.

Try to create a new profile (Start->Programs->Mozilla->Profile Manager) and
start mozilla with that.

if a new profile works you can try to delete this files on your old profile:
a) all files in profile\chrome\*.* (you loose all language and additional
installed Themes)
b) profile\localstore.rdf
c) Profile\xul.mfl

Renee, do you still have troubles? If not, please close this bug.

It still continues to be a problem with me, as well.  I have found, it is
loading in after explorer, cffmon, and pdesk, which are programs that are loaded
in the backround.  I will not load into the memory, and then loads after these
programs, it does not load Mozilla in the primary spot, therefore, it runs in
the background, and eventually locks up.  This is a very serious problem, and I
have loaded the latest build, so it is a continual problem.

Just to be sure, you have tried with a new profile? An other thing you can try
is to rename registry.dat, this should be on the top level of your profile
directory.

Uninstalling the program does _not_ remove the profile (yes, you do have one).
Use the profile manager icon in the start menu or start mozilla from a command
line with -Profilemanger added, create a new profile and start mozilla with this.
