There might be a Microsoft folder, or something similar, I'm afraid that someone else on the list with a current install of IE could help you out more with a specific location. My last experiences were with 4.5xx... *Hold the presses - just dl'ed and installed IE 5.1.7 on the wife's s900 running 9.1. It's drag and drop not an installer - just copy the folder over. It creates a folder in the prefs folder called 'MS Internet Cache' which contains by default a 10MB cache file. There is also an Explorer folder which is created. It also modifies your internet prefs and creates a file called PPC Registration Database. View the preferences folder as a list, and it should be easy to pick out these files. I would drag them all to the trash and attempt to start IE afterwards. Don't empty the trash until you verify that you don't need the Internet Prefs anymore.* > "free disk Space" > Not to my knowledge. Where would I have to look for that? In the header of every Finder window, It should say xxxMB available. You can also select the harddrive icon and do a file>get info and it will tell you how much used/free space you have. The only reason I was suggesting that it might be Hard Drive related was because of your indication of a physical grinding noise when it freezes, which indicates to me heavy hard disk access. You can also disable virtual memory, as one of the Alans suggested, to eliminate some contention for harddrive space. > Calling Bell for support, is like asking to find a needle in a > haystack.

Go figure.

The router is a physical box that you would have to buy and put between your computer and the DSL modem. It removes the need for the PPPOE software which is problematical at best on classic MacOS. You plug your computer into it with an ethernet cable, and set it up to handle all the details of connecting to your provider. tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
