Thanks for the help everyone, but now I'm running into some really bad problems again.
I'll answer questions first. Classic, I have about 33.5MB Free (the OS takes about 30.1MB). If I'm correct, I have (or had) virtual memory set up, I've never heard of RAM Doubler. I'll explain later in my post why I'm sorta holding off on upgrades.
Now to my problems.. I downloaded Netscape 7.01.. but this iBook is starting to flashback some I had problems when I originally got it. I went to open the file and it popped up an error like below, but its either Type 1, 2 or 3.

I restarted the machine, redownloaded the file and everytime it tries to load Stuffit Expander, it doesn't even load, the machine simply hard-locks (where you can't even mouse the mouse but the caps lock, etc still works). It will change the task bar at the top to go blank like its about to load the program, but just freezes. I've also noticed that another old symptom, trackpad malfunctions coming back. Before I reinstalled OS 9, it had an issue where after about 3-5 minutes of use, the trackpad would start wanting to get the mouse pointer stuck in areas of the screen and the pointer would float back to the same area (or areas) and act really screwy. Since I reinstalled OS 9 (and replaced the battery), I haven't had any issues until now. Even when I initially went to reinstall Mac OS, I had an issue because it kept saying certain files could not be overwritten (like Apple CDPlayer) so I eventually had to start over and drag the entire system folder to the trash and delete it first. I'm starting to wonder if its a machine problem rather than the OS, like maybe the hard drive is going out? The HD runs rather loud, if you let the computer to idle and it turns off the HD but leaves the screen on, its virtually silent.
Anywho, any suggestions?
