I am running Win98se and Netscape 4.7

Any ideas anyone ??

Thanks for your time in advance.

Surely not your browser of choice, just there for testing right?

4.08 (The browser only part) here. I'm used to it hanging. Here's a guess - no guarantees - Start the browser clean, clear the browser cache, reboot the computer, then see what happens.

If that doesn't work try reinstalling, preferably after un-installing.

Tried all that:)
I use it for testing mainly but I find it a lot quicker than IE which I hate :)

I have even fdisked and reinstalled Win98 !

thanks for the info

Perhaps something has gone awry with your User Profile. Suggest deleting your profile then creating anew. Save your inbox and bookmarks [Prog Files>Netsc>Users>yourname] move this file elsewhere. Then Start>Prog>Netsc>Utilities>User Profile Mgr to create fresh.

What a pain, good luck.

Thanks I will try it

I had a similar problem about a year ago with netscape. I emptied the cache, created a new profile, reset almost every preference I could, made sure scan disk would run (so that there were no file problems), and it seemed to fix itself. Turned out that the problem came back the next time I ran into a particular page that included java. Reinstalled all of netscape and made sure that the old java got overwrote - been working ever since.

I get this problem when Netscape 4 tries to run proprietary IE JavaScript.

I never run Netscape 4 with Java or javascript enabled...it just isn't worth the hassle

diddlydazz..for speed get Opera

Yeah, it's been documented here before. You're also likely to find a 'hidden' netscape running (no icon showing on taskbar) if it appears the open NS4 window has locked up (links won't click). Close all using endtask.
