Similarly, if some packets are getting through and some are not, pages can look seriously messed up (not the technical term). An easy way to confirm this is to test with another browser. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

With a text editor open and read (only) your Prefs.js file. Look for entries that display a specific path name on your computer. Those paths may not exist on your tablet, that is why installing SM on the memory stick may resolve your problem. Installing SM on the memory stick forces SM to create a default profile referencing files on the memory stick. Michael G PS. You can use the browser and about:config to read and view path names and settings.

Michael G In addition to what Michael says you should also be aware that all SD cards aren't created equal - differing IO speeds, etc., and the fact that you are using a secure SD card could mean that it may be doing things in the background that may also decrease it's effective speed - i.e. - encrypt/decrypt. Check the specs for your SD card and see...you may want to try a different one. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I'm certainly no expert but suspect that disk speed may be a major issue. SeaMonkeys cache is in the profile along with cookies, history, bookmarks and all the other sqlite databases so it's going to be reading and writing it frequently. The advertized write speed for that card is 20MB/s and that is probably for sequential writes of the optimal size so you are probably not getting anything close to that. At best it will be 5 times slower than you SDD and may be considerably more than that. Also running a release preview the drivers may not be fully optimized yet. I suggest downloading CrystalDiskMark (if it will run on Windows 8) and run it on the SD card and the SDD drive and compare the random read and write speeds. You could also try moving the cache back to the SDD drive to see if that makes a difference(Preferences-Advanced-Cache-Cache Folder Location) Jim ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
