[WEB4LIB] Web based email crashing

[Norman Howden]

Do you have an up-to-date version of Java?  I haven't had problems, but we've kept up pretty much with Java updates.

Has anyone been experiencing the problem of web based email crashing
their computers? We are seeing this very frequently on our public
workstations. They are a combination of Win95 and 98, Navigator 4.08 and
IE 5. The crashing I've seen is mostly with Hotmail and Yahoo Mail. It
seems to happen only when someone is composing a message, and only when
it is a long message. Not only the browser crashes, but the whole
computer. Any ideas for fixes would be appreciated.
