Van Tassell Commercial Systems Corp. hi I was curious; because the above was sounding strange to me. I tried both communicator4.05 and communicator4.5b2 , which I have at hand (english versions on linux2.0). I found out that 1) there is no such thing as a "save options" button (by my checking, the options are saved as soon as you hit the OK button in the preferences frame; you cannot open any new window while that frame is open) 2) I cannot replicate the problem: settings are correctly saved in the file and propagated to new windows or already existing ones 3) I have tried this only with communicator4.5b2 0) enable java 1) load something where java is , let it running 2) open the preferences , go to the 'advanced' section, and disable java 3) hit ok The browser saves the new settings, and it freezes for , like 60seconds: it doesnt even redraw the window if you iconize/deiconize it. When it recovers, java is stopped. a.M -- Legal Warning: Anyone sending me unsolicited/commercial email WILL be charged a $100 proof-reading fee.
