that might be true, but the experts hang out in the

Works fine with current SeaMonkey 2 development versions.


How about usatoday.com? A rough estimate would be that 80% of the

but if I take the link into FFv3 they always load. In SM the window
stays blank but the spinning circled arrow never stops.


I can't see any problems there either with SeaMonkey 2, but of course I 
don't know what articles you're linking from elswhere.


I'm assuming SM 2 and the updated rendering engine takes care of most of this. 
Basically I have several customized searches on google news. As I indicated 
about 80% or more of the time links to a USA today story (not the home page) 
fails to display anything or stop loading. But if I copy the link into FFv3 it 
works fine.

Eagerly awaiting SMv2.

Well, Win98 has been abandoned by its creator for a long time now and 
doesn't get any further security fixes itself, so I see no reason for 
providing security updates to random applications running there when the 
operating system itself doesn't get fixes to its known security flaws 
any more.


Robert Kaiser

Well security is not the only thing that I'm looking for.
I'd like to be running something that's reasonably well performing
and bug free. I might have hoped that 2.x (If it ran on win98)
might have some of the annoyances fixed without introducing
too many new, and wonderful, bugs.

For your installation problem try this set of instructions:

1. Disable (or uninstall) Mnenhy.

2. Shut down SeaMonkey.

3. Locate your SeaMonkey profile directory. This should contain a
"chrome" subdirectory. This chrome directory should contain a
"overlayinfo" subdirectory. Delete the "overlayinfo" directory and
everything inside it.

4. Restart SeaMonkey and attempt to install Flashblock 1.3.8.

For your first problem. This might be cause by another extension
interfering with Flashblock. Try creating a new SeaMonkey profile and
installing only Flashblock. And you should try our latest version 1.3.11.

sounds like you create a new profile by accident.

I took this opportunity to make a clean install of SM 1.1.14 in separate 
folder and to uninstall older version.  This version also did not 
associate with mail folders either.


when you uninstall, all you're doing is removing the 
program.  The profile is not touched.  So, when you 
reinstall, it will pick up the last profile it used.


I have located the profile that contains the mail folders and they are 
intact.

close SM.  Now, click on the windows start button, then 
run and enter:


seamonkey.exe -p

this will bring up the SM profile manager.  How many 
profiles do you see? If you see more than one, then 
click on them and find your main profile.

Watching the behaviour with the system performance monitor, I notice
that system memory almost invariably gets 100% allocated, even over
allocated, with unused physical memory being depleted down to under
1Mb !!!. Everything slows down to a crawl.
When I connect to a news server, the system goes through a slow
cycle of checking each of the subscribed news groups for new messages.
For newsgroups.bellsouth.net. this is done in very bursty mode. i.e.
check 2-5 groups pause, with the pauses sometimes being 10-15 sec long
and even longer. In the meantime the system stops reacting to any
commands, such as to switch windows/processes.
When I switch newsgroups cpu goes 100% busy sometimes for several
minutes and the disk drive light sometimes goes wild.

Thank you very much for the progressive 'tongue in cheek' advice.
Well soon the SMs I can use will be completely dead end anyways,

Sorry for that, but i cannot see another issue for SM 1.xxx

For the WIN98 and the SM 2.xxx look at the Philip Chee suggestion:
"Install KernelEx. This should allow you to install and run SeaMonkey
2.0a trunk builds on Windows98se."

Unsubscribing and re-subscribing did not help, even with manually

I think the problem went away on its own in the end.  My guess was that
some message there contained values which screwed the cleanup process.
When that message expired, the cleanup cleaned up.

The Seamonkey level was a bit older, since upgraded.  I was not prepared
to create a new profile and migrate to it.  Too much work for a minor
irritant.

My guess would be that alt.os.linux.suse was the offending group, the
alternative being alt.linux.suse


perhaps it wasn't the newsgroups themselves that were the offenders, but 
the server.


Could be true  In that perspective; what happens when we click on 
the given link "Click here to remove all expired articles" ?

The Start of action is: news://news.scarlet.be/scarlet.be.general?list-ids
Are we accessing the server to obtain a news "list-ids" ?

Anyway, i have pseudo-solved my problem by fine tuning the "retention 
policy" to remove all old articles that were expired - then put again a 
greater value in the "retention policy" ...

has no clue what he is doing.

The problem with Web authoring tools
is that they hide the details from the clueless people who use them

(or don't care that they are producing crap).

reopened SM, Flashblock was gone, but each time I try to install either 
1.3.8 or 1.3.9, I get a failed message that says that there's a registry 
entry -239. I'm not adding a newer version because there seem to be bugs 
when using with SM. Any advice?

Backup whatever you have on D (and C) and install 8.04 to D - let it
have the entire drive. It will automatically identify your Win98 on
drive C and create a dual-boot entry in grub (the boot loader). After
the install is complete, it will reboot & give you menu for both. After
you boot into Ubuntu, install SeaMonkey (post back when you get to that
stage & we'll show you how to do that); you'll be able to copy your
existing Win98 SeaMonkey over to your Ubuntu/linux .mozilla directory.
With a few minor edits, you'll be good as new. After that gets working
you can install SM 2.x in parallel (it won't affect your 1.1.14) so you
can become familiar with the new generation.

Performance will be very reasonable; you'll have a large learning curve,
but once settled in I doubt that you'll spend much time booting into
Win98. All of that is OT for this group, so if you do decide to take the
leap, let me know off group (drop the .invalid at the end of my email
address) and I'll be happy to help guide you through it.

well, so far you haven't come up with a suggestion.

It's also worth noting that there are barely any known security 
vulnerabilities in the first place.

It does get security fixes. Just not officially.

There are always possible solutions that don't necessitate developer 
effort. Plug-ins can cause memory leaks. So can extensions. Suggesting 
to reboot is not a good solution either way.

Well, Win98 has been abandoned by its creator for a long time now and 
doesn't get any further security fixes itself, so I see no reason for 
providing security updates to random applications running there when the 
operating system itself doesn't get fixes to its known security flaws 
any more.
