I downloaded and installed Netscape 7.2 right after its release.  Even
though I use Safari and Mozilla most of the time, I do use Netscape
7.2 occasionally, and it works with no problems.  I am not sure what
you meant by "upgraded from 7.1."  Over the years I have used almost
all versions of Netscape.  I always install a new version separately,
and try it out for a while, before I remove older versions.
