I just had a scare - could not run Seamonkey. Every time I tried, even
right after a cold boot, I got a message like: "Seamonkey is already
running. You need to shut it down or restart your machine". But, as
though SM was a ghost, I had no place to go to shut it down.
I spend a bit of time rebooting, Virus scanning, and even a full XP
partition restore but the result was always the same. I started to
prepare
for a HD reformatting by saving some current files but when I went to
save
my SM profile, I could not find its whole directory - it had
disappeared.
I restored the whole profile directory from a backup and bang - SM is
alive
and well. I have no idea why or how the profile got deleted.
My point: if you get an "SM already running" message, it may be a
profile
problem.
John, after power up and before any operation, check 'task manager' and
see if the SM process is running.
And correct the error detection in SM to respond with No Profile found
when it's missing, rather than an error message that probably couldn't
send someone in a more incorrect direction.

It's only a 6 year old bug...
