Does it continue to happen after a restart? If it opens ok after a restart, then your memory has become fragmented. It happens when you open and then quit, then open and quit, repeatedly with other programs. I ran into this constantly under OS 9. I found it was usually best to just leave them all open until I was done with the Mac, then shut down. Otherwise, try reinstalling. By the way, is IE 5.2 meant for OS 9? I thought that was an OS X-only version. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
