[WEB4LIB] Web based email crashing

[Skau, Adele]

You need to have your Cipher Strength set to 128-bit. If you go to
Help/About Internet Explorer you can check to see your settings. There is
also an update option/link there if it is not set to 128-bit.

Not sure about where to check for Netscape, but we haven't had a problem
here at Glendale Public with Netscape...

Hope this helps.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Web based email crashing


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.
