Not too long ago, I wrote about a problem when starting SM2.01 where I
would not get my home pages loaded. It seemed to resolve itself when I
did a disk clean.
However, the problem is back, and it is worse than ever.
Whatever startup option, either for the browser startup or just a new
window, and whatever option - home page, current selected group of tabs,
previous session... - all of them produce only a single blank tab. The
same thing happens when I try to open a link from my desktop or from
another program. Or when I click on a saved web page.
What's worse is I then tried to create a new profile and see if it the
problem persisted. The first time I started SM in this new profile it
ran as expected. There was of course no home page, so I set one and
tried to restart SM. NOTHING at all happened. It would not even bring up
the profile manager. Reinstalling also did not help. What finally
brought SM back up was removing the profiles.ini file from the profiles
directory. The newly created profile has the same problem as the old
one, so I had the new profiles.ini reference my existing profile and
removed the two other ones.
I have now tried to install an extra copy of SM in a new location. I'm
getting the same results. Can anyone help me?
Try to use a new pofile with that extra copy you installed.
Mayb youshould perform a chkdsk -f on that drive that holds your SM and
the drive which holds your profile.

I tried your suggestions. Here is the result:
I did make a new profile for the new installation. It went well and this
time I could restart SM and it came up with the new profile. The new profile
works correctly. My home page with two tabs starts up correctly. There is a
difference between the lines for the startup pages in the two prefs.js files
that I find a little puzzling. In my old troublesome profile, the first
startup page is listed but with no number. All the additional ones have a
dot and a number behind. The count is correct. In the new profile, the first
home page is not listed. The second tab is listed with a dot and number, and
the count is correct. So far, this is the main difference between the two.
Does this ring any bells?
Checking the disks for errors did nothing for this problem.
