It's helpful if you provide the crash report URI: about:crashes click on the latest one & then supply the URI See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad for more information. Also be sure to read/understand: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/legal/privacy [in particular starting at: Interactive Product Features] Note: nothing nefarious there, but you should read & understand the privacy info. Sample from one of my crash reports: <https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-63c6e408-1f78-440a-9a56-9d5c22120123> > > I uninstalled SeaMonkey 2.6.1 and reinstalled it to not effect. then > tried 2.5 which made no difference.

Uninstalling will not remove the user profile (for good reason). I suspect that you've a corrupted user profile; this is the reason why it also crashes with 2.5. Easy ways to test is to: 1. Restart with no addons enabled to see if an addon is an issue: Help|Restart with Add-ons Disabled If that doesn't work, then create a clean test profile: 2. Create a test profile and see if that crashes. Back up your existing profile first, then Tools|Switch Profiles - that will bring up the profile manager. You can then click 'Manage Profiles' and 'Create Profile' to create a "test" profile. You can then switch to the "test" profile and see if SM still crashes. I doubt that it will & if it does you do indeed have a system problem. If it doesn't (that's my bet) then you have a profile issue. You can add one of your POP3 accounts to the test profile (just be sure to 'leave mail on server' in server setting so that you don't accidentally download all of your message & in the process delete them from the server. You can go back and remove the msf files in your mail folder. In any event, don't go messing about in the Windows registry unless you really know what you are doing. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
