Start by removing the following preferences, then reboot: Finder Preferences Mac OS Preferences System Preferences If that doesn't help, then: Delete everything in the Netscape Cache folder Delete Netscape's Global History file Remove (not necessarily delete it yet) the Bookmark Folder and start with fresh bookmarks If no improvement, then Zap your PRAM, preferably with TechTool Lite (freeware). Also use TTL to check for any damage to your System and Finder. <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/5995> Any of above can become corrupted and causes major problems. My next step would be what Laurent suggested, although he was generic, I would run DiskWarrior and rebuild the HDD directory. Reinstall Netscape, using fresh Netscape preferences. It's certainly possible that your problem is hardware related, but until you have explored the software possibilities, you won't really know. If the problems only occur while using Netscape, I'd bet money you have a software problem. Good Luck, Bob -- -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
