>>OFF TOPIC Simon, Netscape 3.01 to 4.01 or the latest available for download. When I use 4.0 it locks up the machine I use Netscape Communicator 4.04 and don't have problems very often. Occasionally it will cause a page fault or "blue screen" requiring me to reboot and run scandisk. I have just attributed it to Win95 orneriness. But I think there is a Netscape patch which is supposed to correct your problem. Try their tech support: help.netscape.com Jack

Simon, I had that damn infuriating lock and hard drive problem with Netscape 4.04. When I fired up the program I had it set to have a blank "start page". As soon as I tried to go to a website - bang - massive lock. (BTW, you can shut down Netscape only by doing a control/alt/delete and following the correct commands, without rebooting the whole system.) So, I called my ISP (Ameritech) and they lead me through a bunch of stuff reconfiguring both Netscape and some Windows parameters. I don't have a clue anymore as to what we did, but it worked! -g- I do remember we blew out some of Windows 95 "network components" and reinstalled one of them. Also, the way the Ameritech tech went about solving the problem left me with the impression that this was not a common problem. Give your ISP a call & good luck. Regards, DWW
