Hi RUSTY, I am using xp pro on a dell lap top. The computer freezes and restarts while viewing random pages on the cat site. It does not happen at any other time. I upgraded all drivers yesterday to see if this cures problem. I will let you know if further problems occur.

Does using a different browser (i.e. Mozilla/Navigator) help at all?

The problem might have something to do with the java applet that runs the menu bar at the top of the screen. Try testing without it (i.e. use http://www.forum.planetcatfish.com/) and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't I would install the latest version of java2 runtime.

Download the latest version of netscape and you will be given the option of additionally downloading java2. You might also want to try http://www.java.com....
