I suspect you won't be able to do much to fix this. No one should be using NS 
6.0; even 6.1 has a few nasty bugs. But 6.0 is a mess. I uninstalled it 
completely less than 30 mins after installing. As much as I dislike using IE, I 
wouldn't use even 6.1 with less than 256 MB either. (IE on Win2K Pro w/192 MB 
only crashes about a third as often for me.)

One interesting side note... Some time back, I sent an URL to a customer who 
was asking about an ODBC technique. The URL was for a techniques page at 
microsoft.com. The customer wrote back that he didn't get anything but a blank 
page. I tried again and it worked fine, so I switched to IE 5.0 from the NS 
4.78 I was using and sure enough... just a blank page. NS worked and IE didn't 
on one of MS' own pages. Go figure. Advised the customer to try NS and all was 
well.
