   Hi - I waited to follow up on this until I had completely un-installed   
   Netscape  and re-installed a fresh copy of 8.1.3.   
      
   Alas, it is still doing the same weird thing.  When Opening or Closing   
   Netscape, ENTIRE SCREEN goes momentarily black.   
      
   I am running XP.   
      
   Me too -- I have never heard of any such thing.   
      
   Suggestions welcome, what it could be.  It is not hindering operation,   
   but is disconcerting and -- well -- "weird"!   
      
   TIA
