Reporter: Please include a talkback ID with your report.  (run talkback.exe to
get the ID number)

Comment 2

[Lawrence Worth]

I don't have talkback.exe anywhere on the drive, and I don't know where to find
it.  Is there some other way I can provide the information you need?

Comment 3

[WD]

If you don't have a talkback-enabled build, then you can install it yourself:
http://ftp36.newaol.com/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.3/windows-xpi/talkback.xpi

If mozilla crashes, it'll submit a report.   Post the ID here of the crash you
describe.

talkback.  For Windows 98, Talkback is under your mozilla directory in
components/talkback.exe.
