Howdy,

I assume you ran across my earlier post in this forum. I wish I could give you an answer why this is, but it took me a great amount of time to figure out the RENDER acceleration was the problem.

* Every now and then, when I had that option enabled, I would get a tearing effect in parts of Netscape. After turning that feature off, I haven't noticed that same problem....yet. I don't know if this option affects other apps, but I play it safe and just leave that option off.

thanks for this post...I thought I was the only one having that problem, as I parsed many a Google web site trying to find someone else with the same.

thanks,

Brian Sladecek

It hangs because RenderAccel is experimental, and does not work reliably on all systems.

That is, after all, why RenderAccel is disabled by default...
