AR> I'm using ns2_128_US.zip level 4S now and it seems ok.  I agree with

Hmmm... How often will I have to et a new Navigator 2.02 ?-)
Isn't it ironic....

I'll try...
AR> That sounds more like a video card/driver problem.
I use an Elsa Winner Trio V, with an S3 (somehow enhanced) Chipset.
Elsa supports OS/2 since a long time, and they still make drivers for  
their cards under OS/2... I got a new one tweo months ago, the one that  
shipped with the card is about 1.5 years old now (like the card...)
I thought that original drivers wouldn't cause problems like that...
Or could it be, that I haven't got enough RAM ?
2 MB D-Ram , running in 800x600 in 65 thousand colours and 82 Mhz.
>  I had similar
AR> problems with many apps when I used a Diamond video card and Warp4.
AR> But since I bought a Matrox Millenium with 4MB RAM I have never had
AR> that problem again.
Hmmm...
I won't like to buy new ahrdware right now... Teh german tax buerau mailed

Though my Diesel ist build in dec 1992 and eats up only 6.5 litres / 100

AR> I think that is a video problem.
Ah.
Do you know if there could be a software solution ?
AR> I just went there and looked around for a long time and went back
AR> and forth and never had the slightest problem of any kind.
With java = on, i could do that too...
AR> BTW, I had Java enabled while at that site you mentioned.  So
AR> turning it off was not necessary.
Jupp.
But always turnin' java on and off ?
Hows taht if you use 4 Browser windows at a time ?
