I'm running Netscape 4.5 on Debian 2.1 (I'm a newbie with Linux). I am using a Netscape tar.gz file from a magazine CD (it is the glibc2 version of Netscape). I log on as a non-root user. Netscape starts fine and I can browse without problems. But when I try to use the 'Messenger' part of the program, it does not work. The cpu usage goes upto about 98%, and no matter how long I leave it, Netscape remains unusable (hung?). I have reinstalled Netscape base from dselect and the everything worked fine the first time. But after logging out, and then back in again it hangs again. This only happens if I am not root. I would be grateful of any help you can offer me. Thank you.
