Dave, to me who is living in a development environment,
IE is anathema.
It updates all sorts of system stuff with great abandon,
and heaven forbid that the Great God Microsoft might ask
permission for any of that. I had to stop it back at
3.somethinorother so I can't say if later versions are
better behaved, but I doubt it. I have had good success
with Netscape and do not experience your problems.
Sorry, Sean, we seem to keep coming down on opposite
sides <GGG>. Maybe I need a resident hardware guy <GGGGG>.
Now, I just installed an IDE drive and it screwed up my
SCSI CD. Just why is that, do you suppose .... ?

PS, Dave, did I understand you correctly to say that
Netscape crashes ALL your apps? Or just other netscape
windows? If ALL, it sounds like an extension of your
earlier crashing problem to me, which seems to be something
else besides a particular app, though it probably depends
upon particular app characteristics. For instance, in our
memory analysis, I noted that Netscape consistently used
the most memory (12 megs in my case) among all running apps.
Netscape or any other 32 bit app should not affect ANY other
app internally, including other instances of itself. They
do really, no kidding, run in separate memory spaces. Perhaps
this wasn't clear in my earlier post. If various instances
of a single app bring down each other, it's probably due to
external interactions (shared files, etc). If they bring
down other apps, they're poking NT in a soft place. |
