New York -- A Microsoft blog entry by Dave Massy, IE program manager says that the installation of Netscape 8 causes problems for Internet Explorer  such as users getting a blank page when navigating to an XML file . Microsoft advised IE users to uninstall Netscape 8 from their machines, and said the company is working with Netscape to provide a solution to the issue.

In the blog, Massy recommends uninstalling Netscape 8 or deleting the XML node from a registry file entitled HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerPluginsExtension.

However, AOL, who developed Netscape, said that the problem affects only some users. “This issue affects a very small number of users who visit sites that require that advanced technology,” said AOL spokesman Andrew Weinstein.

The company said it would plug the hole soon and the Netscape software on users’ machines would be updated through auto-update. “We would not encourage people to uninstall or affect their browser settings. It’s a minor issue,” said Weinstein.
