Help! I have a pentium 166, 32mb ram, 4 gig hard drive (2 gigs free), Netscape 4.51. Rebooting has become fustrating. Please any suggestions welcomed.

Internet freeze? Check for unwanted wsock32.dll 's

Use Find to look for Wsock32.dll 's
Type in Wsock
Keep the Wsock32.dll &Wsock32n.dll in your Windows\System
And rename others oldwsock32.dll
If windows will not let you rename that wsock32dll
Saying"Windows is using this file can't rename"
This might be the problem and cause your Internet to freeze.
Because Windows should just be using the wsock32.dll in your windows\system
Bootup in safe-mode and rename that wsock32.dll to oldwsock32.dll.

Un-install Netscape, Then Un-install Internet Explorer, Re-install Netscape. We have found that this solution works most of the time to solve your problem.
