Actually, I may have the Geek Squad or some one install it for me as I understand that OEM XP's tend to have problems when installed in a different machine or a machine with a different MB.

Sorry I am still on Win 7 / 64 bit and XP pro 32 bit. I assume that You must make sure that You have writing rights.

You should ask alain for the last Windows version of the installer maker that is AFAIK 3.3 (or 3.2 which can create no portables) if You work on Windows. Setdefault.exe is a file compiled during K-Meleon project creation by the MS Visual C compiler/environment. deadlock AFAIK used VC9 to create it. I created mine with VC8 but do not know what deadlock altered in the code when the original fai

Ask alain aka jujuland for the install creator. He and koko own/created that module. Else ask me for the service. I have an install maker.

Also, what caused me to not have write authority? Is it because I chose to keep it confined to one user when I did the install? Win2000, XP and higher do not grant by default writing privileges in C:/program files/K-Meleon/profiles or any other place in program files but have the default location for profiles and other user specific data in a central location. That location has the needed

@ monroe Yes, part of the default user agent comes from ../defaults/pref/kmeleon.js. I think the other parts come from the gecko engine itself. ... I don't think any update changed anything in chrome. Your memory is correct as always. The gecko version is hard coded in a dll and changes with the engine updates.

Since this is no chrome translation You might be better off when You use an editor that can open multiple files and can do a spell check on the files. Or do it one file after the other.
