Hallo,
I answered "yes" to the automatically generated pop-up question
whether I wanted toupdateto the newest version of SM 2.0.x,
installed theupdateautomatically (by SeaMonkey's installation
automatic procedures) and cannot use SeaMonkey any more since this
update has finished. What went wrong? I need SeaMonkey urgently, since
my e-mail folders are stored under SeaMonkey and I have access only to
a limited number of recent mails via a webmail tool.
Claus
What do you mean when you say you can't use SeaMonkey any more? Does it
just not open at all? Or does the browser component open, byt not
Mail/News?
While we need more information about what is happening to give better
help, my first thought is to download the complete installer and try
installing it again.

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!
Cheers,
Claus
Well, there is no concern about losing your email data. It is stored
quite separately from the program files. Downloading the complete
installer and running it will have no impact on your user data at all.
Lets be a whole lot more specific and accurate concerning your problem.
Robert's original post was concerning 2.0.2 a security update to the
2.0.x release. From your response to him, it seemed as though you were
trying to update a 2.0 installation.
Yet you mention SeaMonkey 1.8, which does not exist. The most curent
version of the 1.1.x series is SeaMonkey 1.1.18. Is this the version
you were running in Win7?
If so, we have a very different situation to address.
Lee
