I installed Netscape 7.2. 7.02 worked fine, before, but then I ran into
a problem (not related to this one) and upgraded.

Now, suddenly, this problem occurs:
When I went to MSN Homepage and clicked in their stock quote box, I got
an XP box asking me what I wanted to use to open it with? In the past,
I entered the stock in the box, clicked Go and got my quote; never ever
had to tell it what program to use. So, not really understanding the
question, which was how to open the .dll (I think it was webstart.dll)
I took a guess and said "Netscape". This caused like 25 Netscape
windows to open, and crashed my browser.

I then unassociated the .dll with Netscape, so I no longer get it
crashing Netscape. But the question is, "What program DO I associate
the webstart.dll with?"

I figured Java, so I tried pointing it to Java but that did not work
either.

Can anyone help me with this. Please be specific, I know nothing about
java, and I need you to point me to where on my computer I'll find it
or what the exact name of the file is so I can search for it.

p.s. I downloaded the latest version of Sun Micro webstart, thinking it
might re-associate itself, but that did not work.

p.p.s. And, anyway, why would an MSN stock quote service need to be
pointed to a program to work???
