Arg... Anyone know why it is doing this?

Well, take a peek at the attachment. I have been using Netscape 7.1 for a while now. If I am on for a small length of time Netscape usually goes all weird on me. As you can see, it gets this weird black outline around everything. Also, the URL box gets this weird gray shading. If I click a tab it usually will not do anything. Sometimes the screen will go white. Also, if I try to click Start, nothing happens. Only until I close Netscape will things go back to normal. Then I re-open Netscape and things seem to be fine there again, too. Of course I lose whatever link I was visiting and have to hunt for it again. This is getting frustrating. Any suggestions?

I would probably reinstall Netscape.

I haven't even had Netscape for very long. Only a couple months. Could it have become corrupt that fast?

Have you tried firefox Firefox? I am generally getting great results with it...

I haven't tried Firefox yet. I did research it, though. I was going to wait until they realease the real version instead of the preview version. You wouldn't happen to know when the real version of Firefox will be released, do you? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looks like a memory leak to me. Try using Internet Explorer -- I never have any problems with it.

I wouldn't worry too much about Firefox being in prerelease... I have far less trouble with it "not ready for primetime" than Bill's stuff that is...

JayC, FireFox 0.8 is a solid full release. I've been using for months. FireFox .9 was the last beta I am aware of.....I'll have to check and see were it's at....so far...You will on occasion find IE only sites that can be a pain but a plug in (Extension) called User Agent Switcher .4 helps with that... Ever since AOL bought Netscape has gone thru some ruff upgrades....
I gave up on it after AOL's second reslease of Netscape.....

Hi
I agree with you I have never had a problem with IE but i have with AOL and anything connected with AOL. I never understood why people are so down on microsoft and their products.

I am still debating whether to download Firefox or not. It'd be my luck I download version .9 and then they release the "post preview" version. I really like some features of Netscape and I think Firefox has most of them (tabbed browsing, pop-up killer, etc.). Does Firefox have an image resizer like Netscape (automatically resizes an image too big for the screen)? Do you know of features that Netscape has but Firefox doesn't?

Has anyone else tried the Mozilla browser (not Firefox)? How is that?
