How to Download Netscape Composer

The directions below guide you through downloading and installing the 4.79 version of Netscape.  There is a later version if you prefer to use it.  However, I prefer the older 4.79 version.

These directions are also written for PC users who use any version of Windows later than WIN95.  That means they will work for WIN98, WIN2K, WINXP.

These steps lead you through downloading Netscape.

1. Go to http://wp.netscape.com/download/0509102/10000-en----_qual.html
2. Click the second link for “Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000.”
3. Click on “4.79 latest version.”
4. Choose “base.”
5. Click “Download it Now.”
6. Click “Download.”
7. Click “Save this program to disk.”
8. Make sure you save to the desktop.  To do this, click the arrow in the “Save in” box and choose “desktop.”
9. Click “Save.”
10. When it finishes, click “Open.”
11. Wait while it finishes downloading.  Some boxes will pop up on your screen.  Don’t X out of them.
12. Another box will pop up and let you know “Download successful.”  In this box, click on “Install.”

These steps lead you through installation.  Please note:  Your steps may vary slightly from those given.
