   Okay, you have Netscape 7.1.  That's a very old version, it would be   
   wise to upgrade to NS 7.2, which is still old but nearly as old.   
      
   The Netscape.com web interface has undergone a complete facelift.  The   
   "beta" you are seeing is the My.Netscape.com beta.  Its the site that's   
   a beta test, not the browser.   
      
   And it is a beta, there are definite glitches.  One of which is that the   
   site does not always recognize the cookie it sets, so some people are   
   asled to log in every time they access the site.  NS 7 will remember   
   your username/password, so logging in is not that difficult.  Or you   
   could just use a different start page, you are not required to use   
   My.Netscape.com   
      
   Without specific sites to test, I cannot be 100% sure, but its pretty   
   likely that you are suffering from a but in Adobe Flash Player 9.0, r28,   
   which caused many Netscape products to crash.  Adobe has released verion   
   9.0, r45, that has fixed this problem.  Updating your flash player to   
   the most current version should resolve your problem.
