I am using Seamonkey 2.9 under Win 7 Home Premium. There are 5

In any session, the first account to access Seamonkey gets full use of

machine is rebooted.
Logging out of the first account before logging in to the next doesn't
change this. Nothing except a full re-boot gives anyone else access to
SeaMonkey.
Any ideas on how this might be corrected?
I don't have that problem with my Windows 7 installation with two user
accounts. In fact I don't even have to close SeaMonkey in one session in
order to switch users and have the other user use it (their copy with
their bookbarks, etc.).
Do you get the message that SeaMonkey is already running? Does each of
your users have their own (default or other) profile? And if so are they
located under that users appdata? Does your APPDATA environment variable
get set correctly? If you have profiles (other than the default profile)
can you start another copy of SeaMonkey with the command
PATH_to_Seamonkey\seamonkey.exe -P PROFILENAME -no-remote (ie:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey>seamonkey.exe -P jim -no-remote").
If you get the message that SeaMonkey is already running it indicates
the second instance is trying to use the same profile, otherwise I'm not
sure.
I don't know if this will help, but I can do things just fine with XP
laptops, so it seems like a Win 7 system could do it, too.
For years, I've run SM from 1.8 up to 2.9 on a two different laptops,
with two user accounts, mine and my wife's. We each have our own
profile, and profiles are in the directory c:\Seamonkey. We can switch
between accounts using the (window key)+L keys in the normal fashion (no
logging off. no booting), use SM with no problems, switching back and
forth as needed. This works fine whether it's a wired router, wi-fi, or
3G/4G broadband.
