>From my experience (and this is not a slam on Geocities), it may very well be Geocities that is doing it. I have 48 MB of RAM on my computer but many, MANY times I try to access a Geocities site, my computer will freeze of Netscape will quit unexpectedly. Their pop-up ads are a nuisance and that's usually when my 'puter goes wacky. I don't know for sure if that's the real cause but it NEVER happens unless I'm at a Geocities site. Of course sometimes I get lucky and everything works just fine - it depends on the content also. Good luck!!
