     Internet Explorer and see if that causes the same crashing.  If not, 
     you might consider using MSIExp in place of NN on this computer if the 
     problem persists.  You may also try an earlier version of NN, which 
     you can download from www.netscape.com.  If problems continue,
     I'd begin to look around at other things, such as any plugins or other 
     software/security settings ...
     
     
     In addition to Robert's suggestions, I would like to suggest checking 
     Netscape's Technical Support pages for references to reported driver 
     bugs or conflicts. I recently experienced a similar problem as Michael 
     with Navigator 4.05 running on Windows NT 4.0--pages with Java applets 
     were crashing the Navigator session.  A search of the Netscape pages 
     revealed a reported bug with the video driver (in my case, Matrox 
     Millennium), and the tech document indicated that Microsoft had issued 
     a patch.
     
     So perhaps that wil prove to be helpful.
