Interesting. I'm running Windows/XP Pro with SP3, and that dialog
does not allow me to set the default browser. It includes controls
to select programs to use for the following services:

- HTML editor
- E-mail
- Newsgroups
- Internet call
- Calendar
- Contact list

There is a checkbox which says:

  Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser

but nothing here to set the default browser to SeaMonkey. Are you thinking
that HTML editor is Microsoft-speak for default browser?

Well, when you overwrite all the executables with a reinstall,
all that is left is the profile(s)--which are in another location.


(Do I then lose all my bookmarks etc.?)


I did ASSuME you've got all the bits of your profile(s)
backed up to external media.
...and bookmarks.html is the easiest to restore of any of it.
You don't want to delete your active Profile, you want to create a 
new profile that is totally unique from the current one.  In 
Windows go to Start/All Programs/SeaMonkey and in the drop down 
menu you should see an option named Profile Manager.  Click on 
Profile Manager and create a brand new profile with a unique 
name.  Select the option to always use the new Profile to open 
SeaMonkey.


Try it out with the new profile and if all goes well you can copy 
your old Bookmarks file from the old profile into the new 
profile.  As a safety net before copying the old files into the 
new profile rename the new file by adding NEW into the filename.  
In the event you copy a corrupted file and it again trashes 
SeaMonkey you can remove the bad file and use the known good file 
by renaming back to its original name.

Hello Charley,

This is beginning to look like you have a corrupted installation of 
SeaMonkey.


Use Windows Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs and remove SeaMonkey 
and any other related SeaMonkey installations.


During the uninstall process you should see 2 dialog boxes, in both 
boxes select to remove all of SeaMonkey, this will remove all the 
files and folders in the Program Files section for SeaMonkey, but 
will leave your Profiles untouched.


Download a fresh copy of SeaMonkey from 
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/


With Windows Explorer navigate to your Program Files folder and 
confirm that all files have been removed.  If any are remaining 
delete them.


Install the fresh copy of SeaMonkey and allow it to use all the 
default settings, if you see a selection to install for all users, 
or a single user, select Single User.


Once installed you should have access to Profile Manager just after 
the splash screen leaves, or from Program Files/SeaMonkey/Profile 
Manager, or from the top menu of SeaMonkey select Tools/Switch 
Profile/Manage Profiles.  You want to create a new unique profile 
for testing.


Michael

Thanks, Michael..  I did just that.  Nothing has changed at all.  SM 
is very cooperative unless terminated.

I suppose I can live with that; it's only a minute or so every day.

Charley


And now I can't even set it as my default e-mail application.  Oh 
well, I suppose SM 2.0 will change all this.


Charley
Most likely not.  It is possible that while uninstalling SeaMonkey 
something changed the default browser back to Explorer, look in Control 
Panel/Internet Options/Programs and see if SeaMonkey is selected.  If 
not make the change there.


Michael


I am then informed that a registry key could not be updated. That is 
what I meant when I said I couldn't set it as my default e-mail 
application.  SeaMonkey as default browser works, however.

Correct 
Near the bottom part of the programs window, it's written:
Internet Explorer is not currently the default Web Browser - with a 
button: Make Default and a check-option: Tell me if Internet Explorer 
is not the default Web Browser.

Therefore i could suppose that SM is the default Web Browser.
However in SM - going to Edit-Preferences-Navigator i see:
Default Browser: Set SeaMonkey as your default Web Browser
With a button: Set Default Browser

Therefore, i am lost  nowhere i can answer the question:
Which one is your default browser ?

System restore did the trick, more or less. Wonder why it took me so

Thought about nuking your default profile?

Haven't.  Would you recommend that?


Well, when you overwrite all the executables with a reinstall,
all that is left is the profile(s)--which are in another location.


(Do I then lose all my bookmarks etc.?)


I did ASSuME you've got all the bits of your profile(s)
backed up to external media.
...and bookmarks.html is the easiest to restore of any of it.


You don't want to delete your active Profile, you want to create a new 
profile that is totally unique from the current one.  In Windows go to 
Start/All Programs/SeaMonkey and in the drop down menu you should see an 
option named Profile Manager.  Click on Profile Manager and create a 
brand new profile with a unique name.  Select the option to always use 
the new Profile to open SeaMonkey.


Try it out with the new profile and if all goes well you can copy your 
old Bookmarks file from the old profile into the new profile.  As a 
safety net before copying the old files into the new profile rename the 
new file by adding NEW into the filename.  In the event you copy a 
corrupted file and it again trashes SeaMonkey you can remove the bad 
file and use the known good file by renaming back to its original name.

Must reinstall SM 1.1.16 every time I reboot

2009-05-05 Thread Charles Milton Ling

Greetings!

It all happened after I gave AdBlock Plus another chance... (Note to 
self: it simply doesn't work with 64-bit Vista).


The situation I have now is that after I shut down the computer and 
restart it, everything is just fine until I want to start SM.  All I get 
is the splash screen.  The only solution (which works every time, but is 
 annoying) is to kill the process and reinstall SM.  Then everything works.


Strange, methinks?

Best wishes,
Charley
