the -version indicated 1.5.x -full indicates 1.4.2
I took the original 142 directory and copied it off with xcopy to save 
it intact before I mucked with it then moved the components in as 
specified. Try going to www.elluminate.com/support and see if you get an 
error

netscape closes after I dismiss the dialog box I reported
