Have you removed the lockfile?
(yourhomedir/.netscape/lock)

It could be there from when Netscape crashed previously, and everytime
netscape comes up it warnes you and you click OK but because you don't
actually remove the lockfile, it never gets removed so the next time you
load Netscape, it warns you again.

Have you added a Drive statement for the directory where the executable
resides?

eg:
[Drive C]
Path=/win98
Type=hd
Label=MS-DOS
Filesystem=win95

if you're trying to run stuff from /win98/

I had a similar error come up when I tried to run things from my home
directory, which wasn't listed in any of the Drive stanzas.
