Jimmer,


I've got a Pbook G3 &  a G3 B&W, both on 8.6 with NS 4.7.2 and IE 5.0, Flash

Plug-in 4.0r27 installed.


I've never encountered that problem personally, but my clients have

encountered a number of weird plug-in behaviours. All removed by an update

of the plug-in to a later version.


Your actions to remedy:


1. Update the Plug-in.   Although I'm sure Macromedia won't admit to it, you

have to wonder why there are 27 !! releases of a 'simple' plug-in. :)


2. If problem still persists. Increase RAM allocation to browsers.


3. If problem still persists. Drop me a line, and I can give you another 20

items to do and check.



Regards,


Mats

PS. If you are getting fed up with your delicious G4, I've got a 'beautiful'

Bondi blue G3 over here. How about a swap ? :) :)
