sometimes the kill -9 <PID> doesnt work i had to do a xkill then click on the netscape window cause it went zombie on me and was hoging up 90% of the cpu and then i actually had to reboot cause it gave me some kernel panic errors...but since i upgraded to 4.7 it hasnt done it as much...hehe i may just downgrade to 3.08 cause it was pretty stable back then but doesnt have all the features in it as now...

I know someone posed information on this once, but can anyone tell me how to stop netscape from locking up on SuSE 6.3?

Thanks! Chris

You can't. Just avoid those sites that lock you up, becare when you click buttons that you don't move and click at the same time, and don't click near the edge of the Netscape window or scroll bars while a site is loading.

If it hangs, pop open a term, use ps aux to see what the first netscape PID is, and use kill -9 <PID> to kill it. Then delete the 'lock' file in the .netscape subdirectory under your home directory. JLK

Another helpful "hot key" for all you KDE guys: Ctrl+Alt+Esc will change your mouse cursor to a little skull. Now klick into the application you want to kill and it's gone :) This is a bit faster than executing "xkill" first.

Oooh! That's a right little gem of information there Lenz! Thanks! Certainly beats finding a console and doing a ps aux, etc...
