Any one else have this problem/Know whats wrong?

I have netscape v7.2 sometimes i will click on somethiing and my computer will do nothing. it will flash the X on the toolbar that stops loading the page(this usually indicates that it is actually loading the page) and then it will do nothing. i will have to repeatedly click the icon and/or push enter until it stays on. this can sometimes be two clicks or two minutes worth of clicks. it makes surfing the net a PITA. I thought it was just my computer being gay but now my GF's computer is doing the same shat. Makes me feel like i have dialup when i have broadband. this has been going on for a couple weeks now, thought it would clear up on its own.. anybody know whats up?(ive tried restarting my comp, closing netscape, being patient, etc)
:throw:

Switch browsers, use Mozilla Firefox, very nice browser, no problems with it at all. Go to www.mozilla.com download it. Netscape has always had problems when I used it in the past, I think it just sucks.

I had to click post reply 6 times before it took me here..
hah..
i have your same problem lol.
I use (lol) netscape dial up at work, with an older version of IE. I don't know why it does it but I think it's this slow computer, cuz my laptop it works great.
And yes, he's right, USE FIREFOX!
Upgrading to firefox is like moving from a tricycle to a ferarri..

ok ill try firefox if you say so.. a friend has it but she never said how much better it was, she prolly just assumed i had it too...thanks for the help... btw this is the only time that netscape has screwed up for me and ive used it for years.. but change is inevitable...

**BIG EDIT**

Ok so i downloaded it and it took like less than a second to download and about two minutes to install (mind you, i have broadband)... then it installed all my cookies and such and it even knew i wanted RD as my home page... only one click to view the page, man i love it and ive only had it 2 minutes

2k1tib...thanks man life saver

Firefox is awesome, but make sure you back-up your bookmarks, it has deleted them twice so far for me...

Firefox was a PITA last time I tried it.

Is it user friendly now?

bluetibbay

I was at work on a crappy computer with a crappy connection using a crappy browser...

Yeah it's user friendly...unless you have some kind of mental disability =/

no problem man anytime. There are also extensions that you can download, like if you have Gmail you can get a Gmail notifier for when you have new Gmail, its awesome, Firefox that is.
