when i startup mozilla i get the following messages as modal popup windows:

The procedure entry point ?ToNewCString@nsString@@QBEPADXZ could not be located 
in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll
The procedure entry point ?ToNewUnicode@nsString@@QBEPAGXZ could not be located 
in the dynamic link library xpcom.dll

in the dynamic link libreary xpcom.dll
The procedure entry point ?AssignFromReadable@nsAString@@IAEXABV1@@Z could not 
be located in the dynamic link libreary xpcom.dll

I then click ok to them all and the browser starts.

When i then open the preferences page, then it doesn't work... i can only se 
the first page it opens, and cannot choose any of the others from the menu on 
the left, it doesn't matter how much i click the mouse on the menu, nothing 
happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click the mozilla logo
2. type ok to all the erros
3. open the preferences window
4. try to click on the left side menu

Actual Results:  
nothing - thats the problem

Expected Results:  
mozilla shoulnd't have given error messages, and the preferences window should 
have worked by responding to my mouseclicks on the elft side menu

-> invalid

Please install mozilla 1.2 in a clean and empty directory.

Please reopen if this is true :
You used the installer build
You have no third-party applications like spellchecker/enigmail installed in
your old build
You installed over an older mozilla build (and not Netscape..)
