Ok, this is too much. Seamonkey 2 seems to have Deleted/removed itself??
In a previous post (12/6/10), I had just upgraded to Seamonkey version 2
and lost all but one of my profiles (S.Beaulieu was kind enough to post
info on how to recover my other profiles.
Last night, 12/14/10, I clicked on the Seamonkey desktop icon and
nothing happened: I got a message saying that seamonkey.exe is not a
valid application??? Thinking it was a 'congested computer problem',I
rebooted -now the Seamonkey Icon was blank- and got the same result when
I clicked on it.
I followed the desktop shortcut& found the seamonkey.exe file was 0
bytes! (see: http://pages.sbcglobal.net/bjweiss/SMfolder.jpg )
What's going on. How could Seamonkey get uninstalled or corrupted? Did
it try and automatically upgrade itself?
Can I recover from this or do I need to try a new install? Thanks in
advance for any insight on this.

Interesting, are you running an AV application that may think it was a
virus and removed the .exe file or rendered it useless?
I have Symantec AV which does a small scan on reboot and maybe monitors
email.
(I'm not at my home computer right now so I'm not sure of the edition or
settings).
I also have Malwarebytes& SUPERAntiSpyware (both are free versions,
that have to be initiated manually).

I have the Pro version of SAS and I removed the trial of MWB but I've
never had anything like this happen at any time.
Thanks for the info.
After checking my home laptop, I have Symantec AV Corporate Edition (ver
10). I checked the logs, etc. -- nothing in Quarantine, etc. (set to do
a Quick Scan on computer Startup.
SAS& MWB: SAS last scan activity, November, 2010. MWB: Last activity,
March, 2010.
So I don't think any of these programs are the culprit.
Fortunately, I still have Seamonkey version 1.1.9 on two other
computers, so I still can extract some of the saved emails&
profile/newsgroup info.
I'm hesitant to go ahead and do a new re-install of seamonkey 2 on this
(WindowsXT,SP3) laptop at this point in time (of which I have none! I'm
supposed to be doing Xmas online shopping but I'm having AT&T-DSL
problems at the same time, which I've been putting off dealing with
-Just keep re-booting the Modem to get an new IP ... temproarily fixes
the problem. Also, even to post to this group I have to VPN& RDP to my
work desktop (after rebooting the DSL modem one or more times...).
Sorry for the rant...
I've been using seamonkey because of the multiple profile feature (I
started with Netscape Communicator, years ago...)

I have not had any recent problems, but I keep a copy of the Mozilla
(Now Seamonkey) files from the programs directory. I just copy the
whole thing to the D drive. Also the Seamonkey files from Documents &
Settings. Then if Seamonkey goes tits up I just re-install then copy
the backup files over the new install files.
I also do regular backups to a separate USB hard drive with Acronis.
Call this belt and suspenders.
