NetSwitcher V2.95 was released before Netscape 4.5 and there appear to be some issues with the new release of Navigator that may cause problems. If you get a message about the “prefs” file not being found or if you don’t see your changes getting recognized by Navigator, then it’s likely that this problem affects you. This may also manifest itself as the “DirRoot not found” message. I’m aware of the situation and am working on a fix. Netscape (again!) changed the way they store setup information from V4.05 to V4.5 and so NetSwitcher is not able to find Navigator’s setup information reliably. I’m still trying to figure out when the different scenario happens and so I don’t have a fix yet.
