I was going to say just reinstall it, but that is what you did.
I wonder if her disk drive has errors and corrupted the file?
go to a DOS prompt and type chkdsk /f
It will ask you if you want to schedule a check on the next boot.
Select yes then reboot. You may have a dying hard drive. If you have
tons of errors that is a clue.
If you get tons of errors run chksk /r (warning will take a while) and
keep running it. If 2-3 passes still show errors your drive is taking a
nose dive.

My wife now tells me that she MAY have updated Seamonkey to v.2.0.14.
Accordingly, I don't know what version is loaded because I can't get

Assuming you're on a Windows machine, navigate to C:\Program
Files\SeaMonkey\ and RIGHT-click on the file named seamonkey.exe. In the
dialog that pops up, choose the "Version" tab and look at the last
entry, "Product Version." If the value is 2.0.14, that should be what's
installed.
FWIW, on my system (I have 2.0.14), the BuildID is 20110420224920 and
the File Version is 1.9.1.19. However, the File Version at the top of
the dialog (outside the table) reads 1.9.1.4127 for some reason.
Thank you for that very good idea. First, I tried that with my PC and
discovered that my v.2.0.14 Seamonkey.exe file was 11 mB+, a very
different sized file than the 1.36 mB v.? Seamonkey.exe on my wife's PC.
I decided to make a SWAG and I copied my v.2.0.14 Seamonkey.exe file to
a Zip disc and then pasted that v.2.0.14 Seamonkey.exe file into the
proper place on my wife's PC. I then tried to load Seamonkey. It didn't
like what it was trying to load and immediately took me to the Mozilla
website and asked if I wanted to update the bastardized Seamonkey on my
wife's PC. I said yes and it downloaded all of the necessary pieces of
v.2.0.14 and installed them. Upon restarting Seamonkey, now v.2.0.14, it
loaded properly and everything works fine. I suppose this unorthodox
approach broke most every software rule in the book there is but it
worked. I never will know exactly what went wrong, but so be it.
