User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3.1; MultiZilla v1.4.0.3J) Gecko/20030425

After realizing I couldn't get Mozilla 1.4 running I reinstalled Mozilla 1.3.1
and got an error regarding the xpcom.dll, but when I close the error dialog
Mozilla 1.3.1 proceeds to open up. Closed it again and reopened and got the
error message again....closed the error dialog and Mozilla proceeded to load
just fine. Closed Mozilla once more and reopened it and the error never appeared
again. Tried installing 1.4 again, but got the same xpcom.dll error and Mozilla
never opens up. tried it several times to no avail. Reinstalled 1.3.1 again and
got the xpcom.dll error again twice then never got the error again after that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mozilla 1.4
2.After installation, Mozilla fails to load due to xpcom.dll issue.
3.Reinstall 1.3.1 and got xpcom.dll errors twice, but then never again. Mozilla
1.3.1 seems to run just fine.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla 1.4 never loads.
