Wandering control strip

[sparky]

Trying to figure this one out, and not having much luck so far.  A 
friend has an iMac DV 400, 80 gig hard drive, 320 mb memory, nothing out 
of the ordinary, running OS 9.2.2, which has two seemingly unconnected 
problems.  First, the control strip will start to creep upward as the 
machine is being used.  It will go about 1 inch up from the bottom of 
the screen, and then stay there.  If the computer is restarted, it will 
stay in the higher position until it is dragged back down to the bottom.

Problem number 2:  Web browser behavior, via dialup, is unusual in that 
once a page is loaded, and then left, returning to it causes the browser 
to reload the entire page from the net, instead of from the cache.  This 
happens with IE 5.17, and also with Netscape 7. I even installed Opera 
to see if it would make a difference, but that was even slower.  All the 
browsers are configured properly, and I can't find anything else set wrong.

I've tried trashing some preference files, such as Finder, desktop, 
control strip, internet, and possibly others I can't remember at the 
moment.  This seems to temporarily correct the problems, but then after 
10 minutes or so, they're back.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Carl Kehley
