Reporter: What did you do to previous Mozilla Suite before/while you install the
newer nightly build?  It might will give us some ideas of what is happening
during the installation.

This is probably specific to your environment.  Are you able to provide any more
details

It's working ok for me (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050316)

Thanks

ikke,

Can you provide us with more details on the problem you're experiencing.

Here are some things you may want to try out:

When you do try to run mozilla, see if it's listed in the Windows Task Manager.
 To start the Windows Task Manager, hold done ctrl + alt + delete keys at the
same time and release.  Select the "Processes" tab of the window that appears.
Now look for mozilla.exe in the "Image Name" column (usually the first column).
 Please let us know if you see it or not.

Try running mozilla from the command line.  Click Start->run and then type "cmd"
 in the text field that appears.  Now at the dos prompt, type the location of
the mozilla executable and hit enter.  See if it produce any messages of any
kind.  Report it here if you do see anything.

For the location of mozilla under Windows XP it should be
"C:/Programs Files/mozilla.org/Mozilla/mozilla.exe". (This is were my
mozilla executable is located.)

Lastly, if you have more than one account, try running Mozilla with different
accounts and see if it works.

Hope to hear from you soon.
