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,
Sometimes downloading a file is doing:
1. put a 0 length of the original file.
2. download the new file in another location.
3. Copy the new file over the 0 bytes- file.
4. Remove the "new file in another location".
It could be that the auto-update do step 1, step 2... but in the middle
of the step 2 ...your "AT&T-DSL problems" stop the process... leaving
your seamonkey.exe empty.
BTW, i go in Edit-Preferences-Advanced-"Software Installation" and there
i reset *all* options. Note that a complete install of SM put some
option true .... evenwhile not set before :-(
Another thing, (nothing to do with your problem) i do is that i reset
the "Enable Internet E-mail Auto-Protect" configure option in Symantec
Anti-virus, to avoid a never-ending loop i got when downloding mails.
