I have seen Geocities on a PC and they send all sorts of weird "java I
think" extras. But they dont obviously show up on our V. But, normally V
complains of Java: unknown type or something. This may be the beginning of
the problem. Secondly and without sounding extremely untechnical. Geocities
has become very unstable some times. You can add pages and they disapear
overnight?! My second suggestion is to stay away from Geocities if you can.
If the URL's are outside Geocities, then I suggest you just click with your
right button and copy them to bookmarks. Close V and open it again then
click on your bookmarks.

Ahh... the old second window linking.. ugh!! Firstly I have been to sights
where they insist on opening a second window, why? Anyway this from what I
have seen EATS up chipmem like it was chocolate. Even if you have no
images. So again get the link copied to bookmarks and try it that way. It
will then just use the same window and see if it crashes then.

Guru's ugh.. hmm er no. Not that I know of. But I'm sure some-one will come
up with a solution :)

Get the links without going to them to bookmarks and try after you have
rebooted. See if it makes nay difference :)
