Thanks, Guy's. I've got KM 1.6.0 Beta 2.6 installed now and so far so good. I haven't done much surfing with it yet, just began customizing. This 64-bit machine and 64 bit Windows 8 OS is definitely a different breed than what I'be been used to. As far as memory, it has 6 GIG. I understand it will recognise 16 GIG but 6 is probably more than enough for my needs. It s

Quoterodocop Charlie, you always can use several instances of KM installed (portable) in parallel. Just use parameter '-new' in shortcut of every KM. And if speaking about several DEFAULT KM's - I don't ever mind what this could be needed for, but yes, you can. I use Browser TraySwitch to have different browsers as defaults when I need this. Thank you, robocop. I t

Quoterodocop caktus, why not to: 1) install any portable build (I suppose Twin as it is already tweaked to self-contain setdefault routine - thanks to adodupan!) 2) press 'Set as Default Browser' in Preferences 3) use Browser TraySwitch to save this state under Windows (you can save settings for as many browsers as you want - and select the needed default one on the fly) Do

QuoteJamesD Windows 8 is very finicky about K-Meleon. You might try this: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs Microsoft never makes it easy for a set default program. They always tweak something with every release. You are "supposed" to be able to set the default and also file associations from the link above. Tried that last night but it didn't change

Quoterodocop The answer is not win8 but 64bit IMHO. I understand that 32 bit/x86 programs are supposed to work on Windows 8 64 bit but more and more I'm learning different in most cases. This new install of KM has already crashed a couple of times but I'm still playing with it. I would find it a shame to have to drop KM.

I have been working with a fresh download and installation of K-Meleon1.6.0_Beta2dot5_en-US with default settings. Just as with previous installations of KM 1.6.0 Beta 2.5 and the official 1.6B, regardless of settings, some .HTM/L associations to KM, some shortcuts refuse to accept the KM icon. So far, KM has not crashed. I will customize slowly to see if I can identify what is causing KM to

QuoteJamesD @ Charlie I think the problem is with sessions. I am not a programmer, so I can't fix that. Do you use sessions? If so, could you replace your use of sessions with Groups? It is possible to test if sessions is your problem. To test, first close KM and then look in the KM root\kplugins folder. Move the sessions.dll file to some place not in KM. Restart KM. Run for a
