I guess I could erase X after putting everything on the other partition temporarily. I hope there's enough room...I've had X installed since August, and I've accumulated a ton of junk (junk I want to keep, of course). Also, I don't have any way to save data externally (no zip drive or...

I saved the .smi file for IE 5.1.3, and I have trashed the old IE and re-opened/installed/whatever with the .smi and re-copied the IE folder onto my desktop, but it's the same thing. Would it be a horrible idea to trash the prefs for IE? Katherine

I didn't see any option to check how IE opens under "Show Info". Also, I'm not sure what to do with Pacifist. The idea is to use it to just take out whatever app/ update/etc. I want from a larger package, right? What am I supposed to be looking at with it? Wouldn't IE 5.1.3 have to be...

I double-checked that IE 5 was only in my OS X apps folder, and that the version in my 9 apps folder is an older one. Both as they should be; the app that is opening under classic resides in my OS X apps folder, and ONLY there, it's the newest version (5.1.3), and I even stuck it in my dock...

Yeah, I do use software update regularly, even though I've only got a dial-up modem and it's usually updates I'll never use... So, if I decide to re-install X, is it just going to go through the regular install process like when it was first installed? Thanks for all your help, everyone...

Well, I moved IE 5 into my OS X apps folder. Classic and X are on different partitions, so it's pretty easy to keep stuff separate. I'm using OmniWeb right now, and it hasn't crashed once. When I first started having this browser problem back in October, it didn't work well for me at all (I...

Thanks for the OmniWeb link. But, why doesn't IE 5.1.3 open under X anymore? It only opens under Classic. It's the very same program that was crashing under X before...very strange. I'll try OmniWeb for now. Katherine

Well, I removed the suspected offending stick of RAM...but I'm not sure if my problem is solved. I booted up into...what's it called? Console root? Anyway, I fsck-ed, and it was the first time it didn't find any errors right off the bat. So, that's promising. On the bad side, Netscape still...

Okay, I finally got the 10.1.2 update. Isn't Software Update supposed to now show me an update for IE? It doesn't. Netscape still crashes under X...and IE 5.1 now automatically opens under Classic. I ran fsck -y several times until it stopped showing stuff to fix. The problem was, it...

Okay, it looks like testuser's suggestion of deleting some of those prefs may have worked. I'm not entirely sure, but I'll know after work today...I don't have much time to mess around right now. When I did the "fsck -y" thing, (which is really cool, by the way), it did find a couple of things...

I have installed extra ram, I installed it over two months before this problem started. That's the only hardware change I've made. Here's my current set-up: I-Mac G3 384 RAM Using internal 56k modem (regular dial-up connection) I just downloaded the beta for Norton Utilities, but that...

Would it matter that I am not using built-in ethernet? I'm not exactly a pro at troubleshooting my Mac, so I'm not sure how to apply your solution to my problem. I did poke around the modem and network settings, but couldn't find anything strange. I don't know, this seems like something actually...

This is message board #5 for this question. I haven't had a single suggestion as to how to fix my problem...if anyone here can help, I'd be thrilled! Okay, back in October I started having problems with IE 5; it would crash right at the opening "about" screen...it went from never doing it to...
