Re: Runtime error!
Ken again. Michael, I now have SM 1.1.16. Smooth enough, BUT my problem is still not exactly solved. Another forum alerted me to how my VLC media player might be interfering with my ability to play certain video files. Sure enough, when I uninstalled the VLC media player, the video files in question would now play - Windows Media Player took over and played them. I am trying to find a way to re-set my VLC media player so that I don't actually have to uninstall it. (My experiments that way so far haven't been successful, e.g., I deliberately didn't turn on a VLC option to load a Mozilla plugin, but that wasn't sufficient to unblock Windows Media Player to play the video files in question. I actually had to UNINSTALL the VLC media player. Hmm.) Thanks - Ken in Oz - Michael Gordon wrote: Ken replied On 5/13/2009 8:58 PM And again it's Ken.

I see reference to a Windows System File Checker (Sfc.exe) which uses command lines in conjunction with the Windows File Protection (WFP) feature. I have Windows XP Home. How do I actually use these command lines? Type them somewhere, I guess. But where? Anyone? Thanks - Ken in Oz Ken, I don't have an easy fix for your problem, so this is a shot in the dark. You could use IE to download a fresh copy of SeaMonkey at: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ Once downloaded delete to older versions, then perform a complete uninstall from control Panel/Add-Remove Programs. There will be 2 dialog boxes pop up asking to remove all of SM click yes. Reboot and navigate to the new downloaded file and double click the install file. This will not affect any of your SM profiles so all your bookmarks, address books, and e-mail will remain intact. The problem sounds like a corrupt install of SM trying to load a .dll file in violation of Microsoft's protocols. Good luck,,Michael ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Seamonky Printing
I have just had a problem with Seamonkey failing to print an airline boarding pass. The boarding pass prints as a jumble of letters one on top of the other. I tried several different printers. I cleared the cache. The airline is Airtran and I printed boarding passes there as recently as Monday. IE prints fine. Seammonkey 1.1.14. Anyone seen this? I'm going to upgrade and see if it help. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Seamonky Printing
OK, I've determined that it was doing it because I had set a custom scaling factor in the page set up. I would have though that should work. Seamonkey 1.1.16 does the same thing.

You can try doing a search on your computer for bookmarks.html. In Windows you can right click on the file in the search box and paste it into your profile. Note the size of the file you intend to copy so you don't wind up copying a back-up of a newly generated [empty] file. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Well, the supported systems are discussed in the Release Notes for the release. See here: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.16/ and look at the system requirements under the Windows Installation section. As for the performance, I can't answer that. You can always try it in a new profile, and if you're not happy, go back to what you were using before. What the others have said about security updates is an important issue, IMHO.

Yes it did - I've *already* told you that SeaMonkey will work with Win2K: quote It will work just fine in Win2K uses much of the same browser code that FireFox 3.x uses. However, calendaring addons (Lightning) work is still in progress, so you'll be without that for awhile yet. /quote I run Win2K, both as dual-boot and in VirtualBox and run Both SeaMonkey 1.1.16 and 2.0b1pre. The dual-boot is an 800Mhz/384Mb laptop. I also have 1.1.16 running on a 350Mhz/256Mb Win2K laptop. I've also told you that SeaMonkey 1.1.16 or 2.0b1pre will run in parallel with your existing outdated and unsupported version of Mozilla 1.7.3. So, load it up and give it a try. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

First, running XP on 256megs of ram is going to be kind of sluggish, unless you are very careful to minimize the startup programs. Also make sure you have ample space on the hard drive for a large page file. One possibility is using XP Lite; I have no personal experience of it but I have heard very positive comments. http://www.litepc.com/xplite.html I see no reason why Seamonkey would not work correctly on this machine with XP. Just don't expect it to be very fast, but it will work. Sure. One last thing: resist the temptation to simply upgrade from 2k to XP. A clean install is way preferable. -- John Doue ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

And in fact not much of what you have gone on to quote from the Web - thank you kindly for your research - means a lot to not-greatly-technically-savvy me. Note, btw, my earlier observation that I don't have the problem if I use Internet Explorer, only when I use my preferred browser, SM. (That discrepancy puzzles me.) Also, the problem HAS now been sort-of solved - as I reported - by uninstalling my VLC media player. Now, while using SM, I can run the video clips in question. (Ideally, I would like to be able to run them with the VLC media player loaded, but unfortunately I don't understand the stuff on the Web about manifests and various dlls, and such.)
