Horst, once you check your firewall settings, you can test whether SM is using the PSM by going to http://browserspy.dk/psm.php. Thank you all for your help. It is NOT a firewall but a profile issue. This means that this weekend will be spent for recreating a new profile (I have many mail and news accounts and personalized extensions!) And weather report tells it will be a beautiful weekend! Sigh! Horst Before moving everything, I'd fire up the test profile, then in about:config check for 'security' and compare the settngs (taking screenshots is probably the easiest). Could be that you inadvertently changed a setting from default changing it back may resolve the issue. You are right: there are about 10 additional security in my new profile. But it is not easy to understand what each line means, even looking at the Mozilla KB (not all are described here). Further the impossibility to print or copy the about:config doesn't simplify the problem. Therefore I started replacing the chrome directory with the backup of a week ago, and it worked! I will never know why the problem happened, but at least it has been solved! Thank you all for your suggestions.

I get the drop-down menu with the Profile Manager option, but clicking on it does exactly nothing. Sorry, but it's true! Charley Hello Charley, This is beginning to look like you have a corrupted installation of SeaMonkey. Use Windows Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs and remove SeaMonkey and any other related SeaMonkey installations. During the uninstall process you should see 2 dialog boxes, in both boxes select to remove all of SeaMonkey, this will remove all the files and folders in the Program Files section for SeaMonkey, but will leave your Profiles untouched. Download a fresh copy of SeaMonkey from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ With Windows Explorer navigate to your Program Files folder and confirm that all files have been removed. If any are remaining delete them. Install the fresh copy of SeaMonkey and allow it to use all the default settings, if you see a selection to install for all users, or a single user, select Single User. Once installed you should have access to Profile Manager just after the splash screen leaves, or from Program Files/SeaMonkey/Profile Manager, or from the top menu of SeaMonkey select Tools/Switch Profile/Manage Profiles. You want to create a new unique profile for testing. Michael Thanks, Michael.. I did just that. Nothing has changed at all. SM is very cooperative unless terminated. I suppose I can live with that; it's only a minute or so every day. Charley And now I can't even set it as my default e-mail application. Oh well, I suppose SM 2.0 will change all this.

It is possible that while uninstalling SeaMonkey something changed the default browser back to Explorer, look in Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs and see if SeaMonkey is selected.
