I'm just full of questions lately.  Sorry, I can't seem to find the answers anywhere..

My husband has an ibook g4 and starting today he started having problems with safari.  Yesterday I went on his computer and checked the privacy settings but I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything from how it was except his wifi network preferences.

Anyway, when he tries to go on myspace, safari quits.  It lets him log in and then when the page is about 90% loaded it quits.  I played around with it a lot today trying different things and in all my trials with the settings as it was it would either do that where it just quits or it would seem to stop responding - I could click on things but nothing would load properly and I would have to close safari myself. 

When I played with the preferences, I found that unchecking the box in the security section that says "enable plug-ins" would allow things to work normally again.  However, when I do that then certain other pages in his bookmarks that use flash won't load those parts of the page (I guess because plug-ins are turned off, duh).  Thus presents the problem - disable the plug-ins so he can use myspace or enable them to see the flash pages.  I know he could switch back and forth but that is a pain and it never did it before so I don't know why it just started. 

He has an older version of safari so could upgrading to the new safari 3 version help?

I did copy the error report log that comes up when safari quits but I'm not sure if I should post it because I have no idea what is in there (like personal info, don't laugh, I seriously have no clue).  If there is something specific that I can look for in there that will point to why this is happening please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any info!!!
