It is like Win XP remembers an unrelated action and repeats it ad nausium. DoctorBill Better explanation. I have a lot of stuff stored as Screenshots (jpg files) of Bank and Stock Market data. I have a program to view and manipulate these files (Graphics Workshop Pro - [GWP]). I have "Hide Files and Folders (HFF)" which conceals whatever folders you set it up to conceal. I have set HFF to hide the folders that the GWP can read - so only I can access them with a password. I invoke HFF and it asks for a password. i provide the password. HFF opens and I click on "Unhide" - now I can open GWP and access my secret files. When I am done, I invoke HFF, enter the password and click "HIDE". Then exit HFF.

blockage
I have Vista with SeaMonkey 2.24 (this problem has been present for quite a few versions prior). When I turn on the pc and load SeaMonkey, it goes to my homepage very promptly. However, when I click on a link from my homepage, the new page loads about 90 percent (the page is visible, but I can't scroll, or do anything else). It says it is waiting for xxx (this varies) and is frozen for anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes, then completes loading. Then the problem apparently resolves, and I can browse normally with no delay for the balance of my session. I don't have the problem on my other pcs (one with Vista and one with Windows7).

An excellent point. We are constantly warned about using software from unknown sources, but for some reason Seamonkey updates come as unknown sourced software.

I find it harder to use because the window is so small and there is no way to make it larger (I have extensive hierarchies that don't show well in the small space.) Other than that, it works well once you are used to it.

My wife's computer loads the whole file using Seamonkey, and my computer loads the whole file using IE. This makes me think the problem is not with adobe, but with the configuration of either Vista or Seamonkey on my computer, but I have been all through the preferences section and can find nothing that to me sets a limit on the size of files I can open. Any suggestions on where I should look? I already tried swapping computers with my wife, but she caught me. (A lurker is someone who reads the messages in a newsgroup but never posts there. "Lurker" is NOT a disparaging, negative term. Indeed, everyone is encouraged to lurk in a newsgroup for a while before staring to post. Some estimates indicate there might be as many as 10 lurkers for every individual who posts.) A lurker in this newsgroup sent me a private E-mail. He suggests the following (in my words): 1. Open Adobe Reader. 2. On the menu bar, select [Edit> Preferences]. 3. On the left side of the Preferences window under Categories, select Internet. 4. On the Internet pane, uncheck the "Allow fast web view" checkbox. 5. Select the OK button. I have NOT tried this. When I reached step #4, I noticed that the "Connection speed" selection indicated 56 Kbps, the speed of my dial-up connection. I changed that to 1 Mbps; my cable modem supports 1.4 Mbps. When I then went to view the hotel guide for Madrid, the entire page downloaded to SeaMonkey in one continuous operation, unlike the way it downloaded in my prior reply in this thread. You might try the lurker's solution, but I suggest you also check what Adobe Reader thinks is your connection speed. Thank you and the lurker. I made the changes to adobe reader (including the speed), then went to the site to check it. It loaded so quickly I sat there for a few minutes waiting for it to start, then realized it had already finished. So I am all fixed and can get back to planning our trip to Spain. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Any suggestions on where I should look? I already tried swapping computers with my wife, but she caught me. I see a problem with the hotel guide at <http://maribelsguides.com/mg_madridhotels.pdf>. After downloading about half the PDF file, further downloading occurs only as I scroll down in the file. The complete file downloaded only when I tried to view the last page. I saw a similar problem with a dial-up connection at Vanguard mutual funds. I wanted a form for converting part of an IRA to a Roth IRA. The PDF file was less than 500 KB but would stop at slightly over 200 KB. Nothing I did would result in the remaining file downloading. What was especially frustrating was that the form was only 8 pages out of 36 in the file -- 8 pages near the beginning of the file -- but the partially downloaded file could not be opened; the entire file had to download before I could open it. With a broadband connection, the problem went away. I suspect this is a server problem. The server might time-out without having sent all packets. Had no problem loading the Link (use PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert) Do have a 1mb synchronous DSL Line. I have cable. It downloads completely using IE on my computer, or Seamonkey on my wife's, but with Seamonkey on mine it consistently stops after downloading 818.51 KB of 1.57 MB. Is the PDF file opening with the same method between your wife's pc and yours ? I think about this: On one pc the pdf file is opened inside the SM screen. On the other pc, the pdf file is opened inside Acrobat Reader started by SM. The way of managing a pdf like this 2 possibilities is an option inside Acrobat Reader. I make SM to open pdf outside by acrobat and no problem Did you say that now your problem is solved ? no, that was not me. I suppose pdf take the same amount of cache regardless they are viewed in a window of SM or not I cleared the cache (under preferences, advanced, cache) and barred that site from setting cookies, but the problem remains. On my wife's computer, which works, the site opens as if it was another copy of seamonkey showing the pdf. I.e., at the top of the screen is a tab for seamonkey, and a tab for the pdf. On my computer, the pdf opens as if I had gone to another site. I.e., the pdf is the only open screen and to get back to seamonkey I just use the back key. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Are you right clicking on the file (in this case the picture) and then using 'Save Link Target As', or are you using some other method? I just click on the file, which works with the other files on that site. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
