Hi Doc--sorry to hear of your troubles. LimeDude knows OS 9 better than I do, but I recall the usual advice is to give LW at least 60 megs of memory. Giving the Apple Applet Runner (in the mrj folder) 60 megs has also been recommended. Search for posts by LimeDude to see more advice, like looking for extensions conflicts (removing FaxStf extensions helped some people).

I think LW is the only group still supporting classic on gnutella, because there are still so many like yourself.

Good luck
