Dear Lee, Yes, I mean that almost nothing happens. I am afraid of loosing all my previous e-mails if I download the complete installer. Therefore, I have not applied this option. On my PC under Windows XP Professional, the same procedure went fine: The automatic update procedure was carried out and I can use the browser and the e-mail client. But under Win 7 Professional, it did not work and SeaMonkey does even not start after the update. On 13th of January I had posted the following description of my problem under this usenet group: Dear users of SeaMonkey, I was using Seamonkey 1.8 under Windows 7 Professional until yesterday on my Notebook. Yesterday evening an automatic update notice popped up and asked me whether I wanted to install the next version of SeaMonkey. I answered yes, had to authorise the administration tool for the user accounts of my notebook to accept certain modifications which were supposed to be carried out during the installation. No error message appeared. But since this update procedure has executed all its files, SeaMonkey does not start any more. When I click directly on the link on the desktop or when I click directly on C: \Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe, a pop-up window appears asking whether I would like to authorise the programme of an unknown publisher to carry out modifications on the computer. The programme to carry out these modifications is seamonkey.exe. It doesn't matter if I answer yes or no, since afterwards the pop-up window simply disappears and nothing else happens. Therefore, I have used a new feature which is available under the Windows 7.0, namely the "Test programme compatibility". The result of the test is that seamonkey.exe is - according to Windows 7.0 Professional - an incompatible application. After having executed the test, I have the option to generate a report which is sent to Microsoft (who has not answered, since they never do) or to run through additional options. But none of these additional options is of help. Another idea was to stop my ESET antivirus before I start SeaMonkey. But the result was exactly the same as already described above. A last intention was to re-install the previous version of SeaMonkey, but the respective sub-programme under "properties of Seamonkey" searches for previous versions and ends with the message that there are no previous versions available on my notebook... The worst thing is that I have lost access to my e-mail account which is integrated in SeaMonkey. The browser is not that important, I can just use any other browser, but I do not want loose access to all my e- mails... Thank you very much for your help!
