Perhaps there are lingering references to the old profile path. With Seamonkey fully shut down, open prefs.js in a plaintext editor and search for the old path name, and replace the references with the new path name. Note that not all references will be in the regular Windows format, so search for the "6xxxxx.default" string instead. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
