Do a search for nsreg.dat, rename to nsreg.bak. If Netscape asks for a
profile name, use the exact one you were using, and Netscape should
restore all the settings. If not, you may have to create a new profile.
If no joy, you could try asking at
snews://secnews.netscape.com/netscape.communicator, a peer-support
newsgroup hosted on secure servers by Netscape.

Oh, you can have 6.21 and any other Netscape browser installed, but
IMHO, 6.2 is not quite ready. I would stick with 4.79 and experiment
with 6.2 if you wish.
