Re: Installing 1.1.18 messed me up (did it in past, too)

I am able to read and write mail and news. On the browser screen, it is much worse. There are missing menu items. Clicking on personal menu items and bookmarks does not work at all. By the way, I had this problem before (I think it was installing 1.1.17 but I switched profiles and then back to my original and the problem went away. This does not work now. Programs external to SeaMonkey work fine. I am using Vista Home Premium or whatever it is called on a 64 bit Acer computer. Any help will be very appreciated as I am pretty much out of business although I guess I can switch to IE which works. Thanks Stan One more thing: If I close mail/news or browser, I cannot open them again. I have to uninstall and reinstall 1.1.18 to get them open again. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Some extensions need to be installed into the application directory. After an update they're gone which breaks the UI. Here are your options to try (make backups as needed): * create a new profile and check if that one works (mostly for verification) * install the missing extension(s) if you remember those * delete XUL.mfasl (located in your profile folder) * delete/rename chrome.rdf (located in the chrome folder inside your profile folder) * delete/rename the whole chrome folder inside your profile HTH Jens -- Jens Hatlak http://jens.hatlak.de/ SeaMonkey Trunk Tracker http://smtt.blogspot.com/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I'm not sure what I've previously given applies to Vista and the exact %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data location could be found as Local AppData value under the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders Windows Registry key. One could safely remove the whole %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla directory as the only other thing it contains is the network cache. See the above note so you don't delete the main profile folders by accident. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Does it now make sense to copy relevant folders et al from my old profile to the new one? I know there is some place that lists the purpose of each folder in my profile. By the way, I had tried a new profile before and it didn't work. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
