Thanks George, I haven't blown away my preferences in a long while so I will give it a try. At this point I am willing to try anything. The reason I haven't done that yet is the other browsers don't work any better. IE, Opera, Netscape or iCab all have begun to stall out on this machine. I have been wondering if some TCP setting may need a kick. The folks that make ipNetRouter also make an ip tuner for Macs. For $20 I can see what that will do.
I think I'll trash my prefs first though. Thanks, Mark ------------------ Try trashing your preferences re: Navigator. When you restart Navigator will create a new set preferences. Yes everything will have to be reset. But perhaps it's worth trying to run with the default preferences. Also the new set of preferences will have no corruptions if there were any.
