I am still having problems on mu G3, with Explorer 4 and Nescape 4. Explorer 4 will access about 3 searches, then just hangs. The mouse pointer moves OK, and I can be running Solitare while I am waiting for the web page to load. While Solitare in in the foreground and Explorer is in the background, if I select Control-Option-Escape, Explorer wil abort.
Well that solves the hanging application, but why doesn't it abort Solitare when it is in the foreground? This is a consistent problem. So I started using Netscape instead, and it took on a new personality. It seems that the mouse pointer was always active, because whatever it was pointing to would attempt to access a link on whatever Netscape was displaying. Note: The mouse button was NOT depressed when this was happening. This only seems to happen with Netscape and no other application, so it isn't a problem with the mouse. Now Netscapr will not start at all. And I am getting 'Error 1' messages. There should not be a lack of memory problem, as I reciently installed 768 MB of memory (3-256 MB boards). The system only had 32 MB of memory, and there were obvious problems in running applications. Now with 768 MB of memory, a;; applications require 2 to 3 times as much memory. I am running OS 8.1. Is 8.6 any better? Where can I find downloads for Explorer and Netscape? Remember, surfing the net is something that I can't do, so I need a single web address. If the content of the System folder is getting trashed, which is causing the problems, would it make sense to buy some 250 MB ZIP drives; install an operating system on one, and placing a backup copy on anothe. Then when Explorer and Netscapr get screwed up, I can boot from the CD, and delete the old System and repplace it with the copy. Reloading the OS and all the applications on a weekly basis is a real pain. Are there any reasonable alternatives? Thanks, David Blish -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
