I have no problem setting up on my laptop or my other desktop. All with Win 7 Pro. and latest Seamonkey. In short, *YES*!! Setting up a new account should not wipe out an existing account, and by using the method I mentioned above I can, and Arnie can, set up new Newsgroup Account, so you've (or your computer) have done something wrong!! You sure you are trying the *Edit* dropdown, now, rather than the Window dropdown that was mentioned above?? Absolutely, positively, Yes. It looks like this may be a bug as reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521861 Thanks Arnie: At least I know I'm not crazy. This appears to be a very selective bug that has been around since 2009. Funny that it is random and does not affect every installation of Seamonkey. Nothing worse than an intermittent bug in any system. I will have to access News E-T.org on one of my other computers for now. A bit annoying but it will have to do. azed13 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
