I am seeking assistance with a PGP 5.5.5 system and noting your comments on the net I thought it might be possible for you to help me with a solution. I have been using PGP5.5.5, successfully, for the past four months. However, beginning three days ago I began experiencing a problem. I am using Netscape Navigator and the Netscape Message Center. The problem: When I receive a PGP message I copy it to the clipboard, but, when I depress the "decrypt and verify" line on the PGP tool bar the screen for the "pass phrase" flashes briefly on the screen and disappears. The same thing happens when I use the PGP tools. The PGP tool bar first referred to is the lock icon at the bottom of the screen. I have compared my public key with the key from which I receive messages and they are identical. I am able to encrypt a message to myself and then decrypt it without any problem. It is only when I receive a message from my other computer does the problem exist. I would very much appreciate any ideas you may have as how to correct this problem. Please make your solution as basic as possible as I am not as "computer literate" as I need to be in order to understand most explanations. Thank You Jim Van Over
