George.
I'm not in 9.2.2. at the moment,so memory has to kick in on trimming down IE a bit for speed.
I believe I knocked the cashe down slightly below the default but not by much.
Any unnecessary features that you don't use personally,see if you can turn off.

More or less wing it as I'm doing right. <gr>

Netscape 4.76 works well on the 9.2.2 side of my computer, George.  I tried 6, but it was a real dog, so I never tried 7.  I think that I have IE5, over there, too, but I haven't used it much. . .I think that NS7.0 will work on 9.2.2, but I'm not positive about that.

Give it plenty of Memory. smile.gif

30-50 MBs anyway.

Personally I set the Cache to 5 MBs and Delete it now and then. smile.gif

Bill, I have taken Beacher's advice and dropped kicked IE5 into touch and DL Netscape 7 and it appears to be(when I get rid of the adverts) more friendly.
Kelly,if I get the same problems with Netscape as I did with IE 5 I will then resort to increasing the cache.
