So it works with a different video driver?

it seems after some testing that the videocard / driver 
can't be the problem. I took out of my computer all 
hardware but the videocard and the network card. I 
reinstalled eCs 1.1 with default vga and installed Mozilla 
1.3 ( the version shipped with eCs ). Same result.

Since it worked with my computer and not anymore it must be 
something that's changed. So I uninstalled systemcommander. 
This is a bootmanager I use because I also have several 
windows versions on my harddisk. I used a bootfloppy to 
startup dos and used fdisk/mbr to rewrite the mbr. All 
possible conflict items are now removed from the computer.

I remmed out ( step by step ) all not important stuff from 
the config.sys ( still in vga mode ) but this does not seem 
to solve the problem.

Still with only the vga adapter and network adapter in the 
pc I reinstalled snap video driver and re enabled all lines 
in the config.sys. If you want I can email what and how I 
did these things since I have written them down :-)

For now I give up. I have no clue what to do next, where to 
look or what to try. I will continue to install and update 
the system. I find it strange that ibm webbrowser and 
netscape ( both the versions from eCs install cd ) work 
just fine.

So maby you can tell me what is the difference ?

Haven't you got mix up of Mozilla and IBM WebBrowser DLLs ?

Instruction from http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/Warpzilla.html

=====
You can run multiple versions of Mozilla / Firebird / Thunderbird at the same
time, as long as you are careful. You must use different profiles for each
version, and run a little script to start it (such as mozilla.cmd):

SET MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
SET LIBPATHSTRICT=T
SET MOZILLA_HOME=<profile_path>
SET PATH=<mozilla_directory>;%PATH%
SET BEGINLIBPATH=<mozilla_directory>
mozilla.exe

MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 keeps Mozilla from creating the parent message window, so two
Mozilla's can no longer detect that each other is running. LIBPATHSTRICT=T
forces DLLs to be loaded from the correct place, instead of using what is
already in memory (this feature requires a recent OS/2 kernel).

I did not mix up the dll's. Unless this is done by default 
from the installer.

I tried the set commands and created a .cmd file and 
mozilla 1.3 is working now. Later I will install mozilla 
1.6 and try this version also. I guess there will be no 
problems any more. So the solution of my problem is in one 
of the set commands.

Thanks for the support. If version 1.6 is not working I 
will let you know.

The installer is pretty dumb atm. It doesn't check for other mozilla-derived
software installed and possible DLL mix-up. I've filled bug 234453 for that.

Marking as WFM.
