I have IE5.1.6, Communicator 4.79, Mozilla 1.0, and iCab 2.9.8. I did the Text Encoding Converter update to 1.5, as the iCab readme recommends. Other than that I am running on a freshly reformatted hard drive and a freshly installed copy of 8.6. IThe system is from an OEM 8.5 disk, and then the downloadable 8.6 update was run. This 6100 has a Sonnet 400MHz G3 and 256 Mb RAM installed. It has always run well on 8.1 or 7.6.1, but has been flaky since I have upgraded to OS 8.6.
One thing that might be significant - I have 9.1 istalled on a partition of an external hard drive. When I first installed 9.1 it tried to "take over" the machine and somehow made it difficult to select the 8.1 system folder on the internal hard drive as the startup disk. Maybe some of the problems I'm having aren't some sort of legacy from the 9.1 installation?
Any insight into what is going on would be greatly appreciated. This computer used to be a reliable workhorse. I seem to need OS 8.6 to be able to run some newer software, while still being able to run my older programs, many of which don't like 9.1. I'd love to get 8.6 to work correctly.
