Netscape errors and locking

[danforth]

I have had similar, but different problems.  Whenever a .au or .wav file is
downloaded, it is played, and then netscape.. and all the net dependent
programs lock up.

I end up having to close netscape, trumpwinsock, and sometimes even
restarting windows.  This happens on a Gateway pentium with 32 meg ram, and
with netscape 1, 2, and now 3.

Any suggestions?
