He means that you can right-click on the shortcut used to launch SeaMonkey, and there is an option to run it as administrator (or something like that - it's been a while since I've seen Vista). Just select that and you should be asked for the Administrator password. Then it will run with Administration rights. If you then make the setting changes you may have better luck with them working. Note: I don't know whether or not this is your problem or if this will work, I'm just interpreting the response for you. Best of luck. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
