Nothing terribly specific - I'd start by running Disk First Aid/Norton
Disk Doctor/TechTool Pro to check the HDD.  Then I'd re-build the
desktop.  If no joy, flush Netscape's cache and re-install the thing.
Defrag the HDD if you've got something that'll do that.  Maybe zap PRAM
using TechTool.

Have you recently played with your cache RAM settings?  Installed any
new software?

You might try asking on uk.comp.sys.mac.
