Under VIEW, component bar option is greyed out?
When I installed SeaMonkey, I believe it somehow took away my component bar at the bottom of my Netscape 7.2 (and SeaMonkey) browser and I cannot restore it because it is greyed out in the VIEW | SHOW/ HIDE. How can I restore it? Thank you. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

If you are running a build with a pre in it, that is a nightly. 2.0a3 has been released, why not try that and see if the problem continues. I do notice that Mail/News takes a while to open on 2.0a3, but I also have a very complicated Mail/News/RSS profile, so I am kind of used to that. How long is long? Try creating a test profile, and see if the problem continues there once you have set up an account or two. places.sqlite s where your bookmarks and history are now stored. I haven't looked in my profile to find places.sqlite-journal, but I imagine its a part of writing new additions to places.sqlite. If there were not any new additions, it would make sense to have a size of 0. Lee I just closed and reopened 2.0a3. I clicked on the Mail icon in the component bar, Mail/News opened up in about 10 seconds. That's a little slow, but not unmanageable. Lee It takes minutes, not seconds. At least ten of them, last I tried. I will go get the 20a3 as you suggest, and report back. Thanks. Margo does SM 2 have hostperm.1? Its located in the SM profile. If so, then close SM and remove it. Did that work? Not that I can see. Lee Thanks all. I have found what may have been causing the problem, and taken some steps. It seems one of my older extensions was doing this. I have disabled it for the time being and now the wait is bearable again. (It was the forecast fox plugin that uses the status bar to give a series of icons for weather news). I had installed the nightly tester tools and at some point used that to enable the use of all plugins. THat one I've also temporarily disabled. In reading through some of the responses I'm getting more questions. If boookmarks.html is still storing my bookmarks, what is the function of places.sqlite? And yes, I have a hostperm.1. It's very large. What is it? (I have not yet removed it). Margo ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Problem with SM - must always reinstall after shutting down my computer
Greetings! I have had this problem ever since the upgrade to 1.1.15, and maybe also trying to get ABS to work. As things are now, I am always informed that there some remnants of former installations, that I must reboot, wait - things like that. Simply put, whenever I want to use SM after shutting down my PC, I have to uninstall it and reinstall it, which, of course, is annoying. I have tried many things (system restore in Vista, for example), but nothing really solves the problem.
