In trying to update a copy of SM v.2.30 to the latest version on a

file-by-file search using Windows Explorer, I couldn't find any
evidence of a 2nd copy of SM but I wasn't clear about what evidence I
should have been looking for.

Try looking at the "Processes" tab of Windows Task Manager
(CTRL-SHIFT-ESC). Do you see any SeaMonkeys there?

This sometimes occurs when SM doesn't shut down correctly.

Thanks for the thought. I looked in Task Manager and didn't see anything beyond the single copy I thought I was running.

I wonder if the problem could be caused by some stray bit of material lurking in the registry?

If I tell Control Panel to deinstall SeaMonkey, my understanding is that the profile, mail, bookmarks, etc., do NOT get deleted. Is that a correct understanding? If so, might a SM deinstallation and installation of the most recent SM version solve my problem? Or, would a deinstallation/new installation create more trouble?

Thanks, in advance, for your counsel.
