Hi, Colin. I've noticed the same problem. Netscape does not start up with a Java Virtual Machine running. Once you hit a page with an applet, it will start one up. This usually takes a few seconds. Then it'll start downloading the applet. If the applet is huge, it will take a little while with no status information. This may appear to be "halted". Also, the latest JVM that Netscape uses is 1.3. I just downloaded the SDK yesterday. If your applet is written a certain way, it will consume resources and appear as "crashed". This is the result, for instance, with VNC applets on Linux. They run fine on Win 32-bit platforms. *shrug* Timothy On Fri, 27 Oct 2000, Colin Kilbane wrote: > More often than not when I hit a page with java, netscape halts.
