> Still, I wonder...why would this only be happening the last few days? I've been playing EF for a few months, with no problems, and now I can't seem to get through too many moves without a crash.

No idea. I've heard of this problem from other readers ever since the site opened, however, so it may just be a browser configuration issue that cropped up on your machine recently. As for myself, I've never had the problem (I use Netscape also and have tried it on 3.0 and 4.5), so it's difficult to figure out what's really wrong. If your version of Netscape isn't 4.5, maybe upgrading would fix the problem.
