Even though mine is Classified as DSL it actual Name is DSL over Copper which is is a code word for the system that predates DSL that was only slightly better than POTS where they took two lines and used I what is called bonded pairs. Its been so long a go I forgot what it was called. But the new euphemism for it is DSL over copper. I pay a heavy price for it. But my ISP provides up to 5 mailboxes unlimited time 50 mb per mailbox, and provides the phone line. If the phone line dies, then its on their nickel and they provide the Modem and Router. And My ISP doesn't provide a news server though I have to subscribe to my own Newsgroups. Sprint who was the carrier at the time deep sixed there USENET Server. The local cable company might be cheaper for one mailbox. but then they charge you 10 bucks rent for Modem and 10 for Router and each mailbox is 5 bucks more so I'd end up about the same price as now. and in our area cable is only marginally better than what I have now. Plus every time there is a big snow storm or a thunderstorm, the cable goes out hours or days at a time. Since I've been with my ISP about 10 years, they been out of service 7 times. 3 times altogether for a day. 4 times where long distance was slowed own because of cuts in phone lines in other parts of the state.

Re: Seamonkey freezing Computer
Roger Fink a écrit : William Morrison wrote: Hey Group I'm having trouble with Seamonkey freezing my computer if I have my email open and am accessing some of Facebooks games i.e. Farmville, Country Life and My Casino. When and if I can get task manager open it shows 100% CPU usage with 94-99% going to Seamonkey, My computer is running a AMD Athalon XP 2.1Ghz with 512 meg of DDR PC2100 ram, Display Adapter VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP integrated on motherboard. If I try to do a normal shutdown of Seamonkey when this happens it does nothing and if I can get Windows Task Manager to open it takes sometimes up to 10 minutes for it to force Seamonkey to close. All 3 of these games use Adobe Flash Player to open and I have the newest version of both Flash Player and Java installed. Any suggestions on what could cause this and how short of stop play them I can avoid these freeze ups. If I access Facebook and these games using IE-8 or Google Chrome while I have Seamonkey email open I have no problem but would rather use Seamonkey for both. By all means upgrade your memory but I would prepare myself for no improvement in the situation as one possible outcome. I have SM 2.0.3 and Firefox 3.5.8 installed on two Thinkpads w/ 2mb RAM and they both routinely freeze up, requiring a manual shutdown and restart. The biggest improvement in the situation comes with switching off javascript. Switching off flash and adblock+ also appear to help. Obviously, these are desirable features which normally you would want to be fully functioning. The tipping point for all this started when I upgraded from avast4 to avast5, so that is also likely part of the problem. One thing I would like to try, but can't, is Panda's online realtime virus scanner program, which would greatly reduce (I think) one source of real time competition for memory and processor capacity. Need XP or later for that, but running Win2K. I can confirm that flash with some badly set web sites can make XP to go trashing in swap file. I tried some addons like noscript, and, better flashblock solved the problem. only one flash active is enough, some sites fire many more (with no use) adding some memory seems to make sense, but I could say that if you try to hide a problem, it can come back right in your face. try something like PageFileUsageMonitor to know exactly how this swap is in use. XP can do with 512 Megs of ram, 300 of page file, seamonkey browser + mail news, many windows, acrobat reader also. curiously an other PC XP with 1 Gb of ram, can do with no swap, but prefers to have 300 megs also. I suspect XP not very fine at using the swap. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Daniel So far in the sticks they have to pipe sunshine periodical. Oh, well! There I go, I have always taken you (and most here) as big city slickers with prime time services! Daniel 1 mb DSL is not prime time service. with Cable modems upwards of 15-20 or more mb per second. Even though mine is Classified as DSL it actual Name is DSL over Copper which is is a code word for the system that predates DSL that was only slightly better than POTS where they took two lines and used I what is called bonded pairs. Its been so long a go I forgot what it was called. But the new euphemism for it is DSL over copper. I pay a heavy price for it. But my ISP provides up to 5 mailboxes unlimited time 50 mb per mailbox, and provides the phone line. If the phone line dies, then its on their nickel and they provide the Modem and Router. And My ISP doesn't provide a news server though I have to subscribe to my own Newsgroups. Sprint who was the carrier at the time deep sixed there USENET Server. The local cable company might be cheaper for one mailbox. but then they charge you 10 bucks rent for Modem and 10 for Router and each mailbox is 5 bucks more so I'd end up about the same price as now. and in our area cable is only marginally better than what I have now. Plus every time there is a big snow storm or a thunderstorm, the cable goes out hours or days at a time. Since I've been with my ISP about 10 years, they been out of service 7 times. 3 times altogether for a day. 4 times where long distance was slowed own because of cuts in phone lines in other parts of the state. But know I am definitely not in a big city. in fact our area Martinsville/Henry county is so economically depressed we have about 22-25% unemployment. About as bad or worse than Appalachia.

Moving from 1.1.18 (now default) to 2.0.3 (to become default).
I have now used SeaMonkey 2.0.3 in a learning mode long enough for me to believe that it will meet my personal browser requirements. In fact, the only difficulty I found with 2.0.3 was a problem with the Go button on the mail window (see earlier thread in this group titled Mail Newsgroup Account Settings and Leave Messages on Server Settings for details about that problem). I am now wanting to know the best way to migrate all of my mail, address book, settings, etc. (not sure what else might be included under my profile) from 1.1.18 to 2.0.3. I have set 2.0.3, so that it leaves all messages on the server during this learning period--messages are removed when downloaded to 1.1.18. I have only downloaded a very small number of messages to 2.0.3, since it was installed on my system. Thus, I would like to make sure that 2.0.3 includes all of the messages that are presently on 1.1.18. As with the messages, there have been other changes on 1.1.18 that must be migrated to 2.0.3. Additions have been made to the address book and setting changes have been made. I desire to have 2.0.3 up-to-date on these subjects and any others, that I am not technically knowledgeable about and that should also be migrated. I have only one Profile in 1.1.18 and only one profile in 2.0.3 (it was migrated from 1.1.18 as a part of the installation of 2.0.3 on my system). I need some basic-level instructions on how to update 2.0.3 with 1.1.18 information. Thanks in advance for your help.

Interviewed by CNN on 26/3/2010 21:23, Frog told the world: I have only one Profile in 1.1.18 and only one profile in 2.0.3 (it was migrated from 1.1.18 as a part of the installation of 2.0.3 on my system). I need some basic-level instructions on how to update 2.0.3 with 1.1.18 information. Well, since you say you only used 2.0.3 for testing, and 1.1.18 has a complete set of your data, my suggestion would be to delete the 2.0.3 profile and re-import the data from you 1.1.18 profile. Steps: 0. Make a backup. 1. Close 2.0.3. 2. Open 1.1.18, go to your e-mail accounts setting and set all of them to delete messages after a few days (this is a precaution against you accidentally opening 1.1.18 in the future). Disable the option to load QuickLaunch on boot. 3. Close 1.1.18. Make sure the QuickLaunch icon near the clock is closed. 4. Open the 2.0.3 Profile Manager -- it's in the Seamonkey folder under the Start Menu. 5. Use the Profile Manager to delete your current (test) profile. 6. Use the Profile Manager to import the profile from your 1.1.18 installation. This SHOULD get everything or near to it from your old Seamonkey. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...

I could be wrong, but I thought that error was because the installer expects the Firefox installation tools, which Seamonkey 1.X doesn't have.

Windows XP Pro SP3 Frog As long as you've made no changes to your 2.X profile which you can't live without, I think the best approach is to delete the 2.X profile completely (back it up first!) and then when you launch SM 2.X again, it will ask to migrate your settings again. This time, the migration will be the final one (assuming it goes well, of course). As a result, you should go into your SM 1.X settings and tell it to Leave messages on the server, since SM 2.x will become the official place for your e-mail. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
