Hello,
I had the same problem but I didn't find a way to resolve it. I was running
on two different machines same OS config but one was a iMac 333 and the
other was a G4 400 with plenty of memory. I had to go down to OS 9 all
extensions to get rid of the problem, it might be a extension that IE5
installs. If I have time I will look into it. Keep me posted on your
successes.
Thanks,
Jason Bourque

no third party extensions) to crash hard when it is running at the same time

windows open in IE. Doesn't depend on Internet conection and "works" just as
