Bill,

I used to get those same errors. The fact is, Netscape is a memory hog. Go
into the info box for Netscape and crank up the memory allocated next to
the Preferred Size box. I have mine set at 7000K and that seems to work
well. Of course, you really can't run anything else other than finder and
Netscape at the same time with only 12 megs of RAM on the machine.
