That could be but first you should try to clean out your temporary files and cache as this will open up some memory. Good luck

Clean out the cache and temporary internet files as mentioned by Slipnot. Assuming a Windows9X machine, you'll also want to run scandisk and defrag on your hard disk. Probably the most overlooked remedy of Windows 9X systems... Start-> Progra... -> Accessories -> System Tools->
Run ScanDisk 1st and then run Disk Defragmenter...
What speed system and how much memory do you have??

OK, For Netscape 4.x, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Cached and you'll see two buttons for clearing memory and disk cache - select those.
For Internet Explorer 5.x go to Tools -> Internet Options -> General to clear cache
For Internet Explorer 4.x, go to View -> Internet Options -> General to clear cache
For Internet Explorer 3.x View -> Options -> Connections to clear cache
Beyond that memory will help if you have low total memory. What speed system and how much memory do you have. Also, how much free space available on your hard drive. And did you ever use the "Disk Compresssion Tools" on your machine, gives me the shakes to think about drive compression. Mental picture of Dennis Hopper saying " Bad things man"
