Also noted. @John (not all CAPS John Boyle): So, despite the 'directory/folder' debate; John please tell us *exactly* where you have SeaMonkey installed, where you have your itunes etc installed. You state that you have/had them both installed in your 'Documents and Settings' folder, can you provide details regarding this? I also note that "John" had this thread (SM 2.0 11/03/2009) via a different email address and the thread was left like this: > On 11/04/2009 07:14 AM, Rick wrote: >> > NoOp wrote: >>> >> On 11/03/2009 02:24 PM, Rick wrote: >>>> >>> Rick wrote: >>>>> >>>> Just tried to install SM 2.0 and it totally did not work it trashed >>>>> >>>> my >>>>> >>>> iTunes files and it will not be found on my system until the bugs >>>>> >>>> are >>>>> >>>> worked out of it.
