Now that it's solved here's what the problem was. I had installed a pre-release of SM2 which created a file named 'profile.ini' with a reference to the SM1.1.x profile in the default directory. ie: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\profile.ini
I was not happy with this pre-release of SM2 so I uninstalled it. Somewhere along the line I created a new profile form SM1.1.x. The SM2 profile.ini file still referenced the old 1.1.x profile. That's why my original installation of the released version of 2.0 had old information on startup. In trouble shooting I removed the all the old 1.1.x profiles. This now meant that the 2.0 profile.ini which was in the 1.1.18 default directoy was still there. But it was now pointing to an non-existant profile. This, I assume, was causing the next problem of SM2 Mail not starting up and giving an error message of 'SeaMonkey is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing SeaMonkey porcess, or restart you system" and then hanging requiring a reboot. (NOTE TO PROGRAMMERS: This should be investigated. The proper response should have been "Missing file: <whatever profile.ini was pointing at>" and allowing the startup to be aborted rather than hanging and waiting for a reboot). I hope this information will help the next person. -- Ed Don't try to cross any bridges until you're sure one is there. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
