I didn't mean it personally as if YOU had something to do with it fer cryin' out loud. The cache on YOUR installation and machine is busted. I have eight boxes here with various and sundry installs of Mozilla and 6.xx and NONE experience the cache problem whatsoever at CNN or anywhere else for that matter as far as I can tell. I do a lot of online trading and I think if there was a cache problem I would be one of the first to notice. > >>Since /cache/ contains "files" written to specific areas of the HD maybe >>a scan-disk and defrag may help and even a "complete sector check" may >>provide relief .. who knows at this point, maybe worth a try. >> >> > > Neither are likely to do much on an NTFS disk. True, which leads to the likely conclusion that there is a problem with W2K or other NT flavor or a problem with Mozilla specifically and W2K/NT, etc ... dunno, don't run that stuff here. Win32, AIX and UNIX spoken here. >>Do you have another computer 'at hand' to attempt to dupe the problem ?? >> >> > > I do, but I have neither the time nor the patience. Well, that just MAY provide clues that you are unwilling to investigate for whatever reason. Duplicate the problem on as many boxes as you have and THEN blame Mozilla. Ok, others are experiencing the same problem. Then put together a compilation of operating paramaters, that's what good investigative technique is all about. > > For some strange reason, I suspect that AOL has plenty of computers to > devote to Mozilla testing, even after buying Time Warner.
