I'm currently using IE 4.5 and OE 5.01 on an iMac 333 8.6 160 Mb and recently started getting freezes and strange effects. This included (in an email I was writing) the letter u started repeating by itself. The cursor froze. Even disconnecting the keyboard didn't stop it. ctrl apple esc didn't stop it either.
These effects started after installing all the software elements associated with my new Canon 1240u scanner. My question is, would updating to OE 5.02 be less prone to freezing etc? (my hypothesis being that the scanner software may be interacting with the older 5.01.) Could it be time to move to OS 9.x? I have tried over several days to download the combined IE 5 and OE 5.02 but the download has quit each time after downloading about 800k. I don't want to persevere unless there is anything to be gained. Is IE 5 much better than 4.5? Thanks Bill Currie
