Re: [CGUYS] Thunderbird Quitting

2007-11-10 Thread db
I can't tell you more than in my experience Thunderbird has some complex 
hooks. It got a small corruption on my PC which I have never been able 
to get rid of despite troubleshooting and uninstalls and reinstalls.  I 
ended running Tbird in its safe mode to avoid the symptom.

Sure looks like it.

Faster than reinstalling the whole OS you might have succeeded by simply 
running the "combo" updater. It is good a replacing missing pieces. Of 
course that assumes that your missing pieces were included in an update. 
Since the "combo" includes updates for everything since dot-zero the odds 
are good that the parts you need are in there.

That didn't occur to me, but the OS was totally up to date. Is it 
possible to somehow force it to do an update it does not need?
It's a pain in the butt to start over, but the process makes me dig into 
areas of the system that I tend to forget about. It makes me more 
effective when I help others.
Have you ever installed a CCC clone on a Mac, or just replaced parts 
that needed fixing?


In the last few days, some of my mail to the list has never made it to 
my email client or to the gmail web mail site. It's nice somebody saw it.

The combo updater will check and fix a version that is the same as the 
updates.
