Hello,
    I have installed Netscape Communicator 4.73 on my SPARCBook 3GX =
running
Solaris 2.6, but I am having a problem - when I call up a web site, the =
initial screen
appears fine, but if I scroll down, the display is jumbled.

    By jumbled I mean, for example, the lines of text that were =
previously covered up
are now displaying a few times in succession,and sometimes over other =
lines. It
is as if the CPU/display can not keep up with the scroll request and =
just tries it's best
to "throw up" what it can.

    There must be a usable version on Netscape around for SPARC/Solaris, =
does
anyone have any suggestions?

    The software installed is SOlaris 2.6, the Sun Reccommended Patch =
Cluster, the
Tadpole Software Package, and the Tadpole Patches from Hugo's FAQ.

Thanks in advance,

Ken
