Try reinstalling SeaMonkey WITHOUT deleting anything. If that does not work, use the Windows [Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features} to delete SeaMonkey and then try reinstalling SeaMonkey again. Age 75 is not so bad. I am about two months shy of 73. But then my whole 40+ year career -- until I retired -- involved computer software. -- David E.
