I printed out your suggestions and, so far as I can tell, did exactly what you said to do. However, I should have also mentioned that when I deleted the original profile in 'Documents and Settings' that , SM 2.01 wouldn't work any more and returned the following error message when I tried to start either SeaMonkey or SeaMonkey Mail: SeaMonkey is already running but is not responding. To open an new window, you must first close the existing SeaMonkey process, or restart your system. As I don't understand what it means to ... close the existing SeaMonkey process ... and I don't see any SeaMonkey things when I do contr-alt-del, I repeatedly cold booted the system, but the same error message keeps being returned. SeaMonkey and SeaMonkey e-mail only worked again when I restored the deleted profile to its original location. I.e., something goes haywire when the original profile is deleted from 'Documents and Settings'. Second, the hhpo0u$cb...@news.albasani.net reference you give appears to be in the form of an e-mail address, rather than a URL, or is in a form that I don't understand. Please clarify.
