It really depends on what kind of sound they're using in those things, that will determine which plug-in you use. > Last Night I downloaded the latest: > Beatnik Player > Shockwave > RealPlayer > FlashPlayer > BUT I DID NOT INSTALL THEM....yet...not sure of what to do or > how to install them. Generally these are installer apps, you double click on them and they'll install. > Now my Acrobat Reader 3.01 is in my Applications folder....not in my Plug-in folder > !

The acrobat reader plug-in is called PDFViewer. > I figured I had too many or not the right ones or something is wrong with > my group of Plug-ins. You could have a corrupted plug-in. Like I sadi, it really depends on what kind of plug-in is needed. I'd install the ones you got and see if it helps. A possible cause is insufficient memory allocated to Netscape. I don't know how much memory you have, but if you set Netscapes memory allocation to 24 mb or greater, you'll drastically reduce the frequency of crashes. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
