Try from the command mode: 1. Right click the left window icon on the taskbar (sorry, I forget what it is called - I normally use linux) and then left click on 'Command Prompt'. 2. Paste the following into the command prompt window: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" (be sure to include the quotation marks) If the command works, then you should see nothing in the Command Prompt window except the standard 'C:\Users\<user>> prompt and seamonkey should open. If not, hopefully you'll get some text in the Command Prompt window that may give a clue as to why seamonkey isn't starting. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
