I lost Netscape...
There I was crusing the internet on netscape 7.2 watching some video's on a site. Closed both pages (I linked from another site) KAPOW! blue screen of death! Some mumbo jumbo about memory and downloading to disk with this something counting away. I watched this for a few seconds and shut it down. When I got it back up again, my netscape lost all it's settings, my email, bookmarks, the works. All gone.
I tried system restore (to no avail) All that did was screw up my McAfee. I have given up all hope of getting my settings back. So I uninstalled 7.2 and installed 8.1
Any one else ever had this happen to them? What would have caused this?

Any recomendations on a mail client??

I use Outlook 2003 which comes with Microsoft Office but Outlook Express comes free with Windows and works very well.
I think that mozilla.org has an email client that's similar to Netscape's but I've never tried it.
