My experiences with Netscape v4.08 and Opera v3.62 on a W31 system are identical to what you are describing. I have the impression the basic engine for each browser is the determining factor and not what 'version' is being used nor what OS. If sizes are not specified for graphics images within the HTML Netscape will 'redraw' the same display as many as three times here before it finishes. Meanwhile the system is 'dead' and cannot even detect the mouse. :-\ Charles.Angelich "DOS Ghost" Tech Website : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/ Music,Photos,Stories,etc. Website : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/faf/ Default Browser HomePage : http://www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost/homepage.asp To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
