Could you please post you .xinitrc or whereever your netscape command resides (probably there is a ampersand (&amp;) at the wrong place).<br />

i just installed netscape on my slackware today. &nbsp;one of the notes in the readme, like marce said, was that it may need newer libc ( i think it was libc). &nbsp;what version of slackware r u running? &nbsp;does it give you any error msgs, on screen or in /var/log/debug or messages, etc?<br />

Which Netscape are you using?<br />
If it is 4.5, perhaps it requires libc6,<br />
which Slackware doesn't support.<br />

look at the xerrors file, probablu in var/log. This could contain usefull info. &nbsp;I have never had an app knock me out of x-windows so I don't have much insight, but the xerrors log is where I would start.<br />
p.s. &nbsp;you are launching netscape from a command line, I assume?<br />
