OW 5.8 has begun failing to connect with some web sites and I'm hoping someone here can suggest something I haven't tried. These are sites that up until yesterday worked just fine with OW, but now will never load. Other sites The problem sites include some pretty generic ones with only some basic JavaScript and CSS. Safari 3.2.1 on the same system will load the sites without any problem.

I've trashed all the OW application support files to start with a new workspace, trashed the OW cache files, replaced the application itself, and have cleared font caches, repaired permissions, and logged in as a different user under which the problem persists. The activity and error logs show nothing I can identify as indicative.

Can anyone think of anything else I can try short of a complete OS install (which I won't bother with; I'll just abandon OW for now if that's the only answer)? I'm completely baffled at this point. Here's my system specs:

iMac 2.8GHz 4GB RAM
Mac OS X 10.5.5
QuickTime 7.5.5
Latest Flash and Shockwave plug-ins (disabling has no effect)
No other third-party Internet plug-ins
Mac OS X firewall allowing all connections

Again, Safari on the same system at the same time has no problem loading up the sites that OW will fail on.

Thanks in advance,

Dave Sawyer
