   the profile location in win98 is far different than it is in   
   winXP.  When you installed Net 7.2 in XP, its looking in the   
   new location for the profile.  You have to start up the   
   Netscape Profile Manager.  You can find it in the Netscape   
   Folder, by clicking in the windows Start button, then   
   Programs, then the Netscape folder and find the Profile   
   Manager.  When you start it up, use that to locate the old   
   profile.   
      
   To locate the profile for win98 and XP you can read this:   
   http://ilias.ca/archive/netscape/profilefaq/#locations   
      
   but since you're using windows, you must read this first:
