Hi,
    Your looking in the wrong place. Make sure that Netscape is not
functioning, then find the Netscape folder. Inside that you will find a
"Navigator Icon". Click once & do a "Open Apple" (propeller or command) +
an "I". This will provide an information box on the left side of screen. Go
to "General Information" with the nouse and you will find 3 options. The
bottom option is memory. Click on this & you can increase the memory to at
least 18 meg Prefered, same or a little more with Suggested.

Just look for a preferences folder in the system folder, but I doubt this
is the problem.

Nor will it, as it is a simple software glitch that will only show up if
Netscape is running; &/or Reader.

Hope the above helped, if not ask again for help, or call me.
