Page videos do not load:
I am not sure if this is a Browser or Provider problem. My TV system is through Direct TV, my internet prover is Comcast. When I click on a choice in Today in Video at my home page (Xfinity) the page opens but no videos ever load. An example follows; http://my.xfinity.com/video/Taraji-P-Henson-Slams-Empire-Feud-Rumors/540944963686/Comcast/TopVideos/?cid=sf_vidtray There are multiple "loading" indicators no videos. I have been unable to find anything in Xfinity support that addresses this situation. Perhaps someone in this group has some insight. Since videos play normally on most sights, I wonder if there is something unique about the videos on this site or if a tweak in needed in Seamonkey.

I see the same using: - SeaMonkey 2.33.1 - Internet Explorer 9 - Google Chrome 45 on Windows Vista I guess something is broken on that site. Either that or, being in the UK, they're blocking me from seeing the videos (or whatever it is that's supposed to be loading). Mark. Thank you Mark.

So... do you ahve an a/v program? set to check programs when they load? and set to scan only on the first load? Regards, Lee First, my thanks to all of you responders for the great suggestions. Second, mea culpa because the responses made me use my ancient brain to dig through my machine looking for other possible causes. And, I found it. Back in mid 2014 I thought my boot time seemed to be a little too long. when we get old we sometimes get impatient. I found a small program that was designed to delay applications from preloading in the background during boot. So, the net effect is some programs took a minimal amount of extra time to load when called upon. I was not aware that Seamonkey would be in that category. As Seamonkey went through the various updates it appears that little program had more effect then on other applications. I disabled it and the problem vanished. So, my apologies to all for bugging you with something that really turned out to be way off topic. Conversely, my thanks for nudging me in the right direction to solve it. azed13 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Try clearing cache and cookies, compact folders, then restart SM. What does Windows Task Manager say is using all that 4.9 GB? You may have to show processes from all users (checkbox at bottom).

I have registered with Eternal-September but for some reason I am unable to add the account as a new group.

Don't confuse Shift-w with an uppercase W. In the world of key-press
parsing, Shift-w is not key-code equivalent to an uppercase W. If you
turn on caps lock, I think you'll find that pressing w works just fine.
Thank you Trane, I learned something new today. For an old guy my age

Not sure how you've understood my reply, but upper- and lowercase W have the same null effect on my machine, as does the menu option Message | Watch Thread. The K does seem to work, but not in an obvious way. It immediately removes several options from the menu, but has no other visible effect. (In that respect, it reminds me of several other features of the sqlite database -- when I delete an entry, SM does so secretly without updating the display, but when I navigate and return I see that the item is gone.) So if I kill the current thread, I won't know for sure unless I navigate away from it, and then the choice will be unrecoverable because I won't be able to unkill it if I can't see it. Paul: If you can read my reply to Tranes' comment you can see that I don't have the knowledge to go any further than to say it works for me. I was surprised to find that shift w has a different result than caps lock w does. As Trane said, that action works fine.

If SM had closed normally, this file would have been erased. The file is called something like parent.lock.

Daniel: Thanks again. Since I last posted, while working a different program (no Seamonkey session open and off line) suddenly a dialogue box popped up stating that the Seamonkey update failed for some reason I don't recall asking to download the full or complete file. I clicked OK and the dialogue box changed to connecting to server and downloading. I don't remember the full details. I do know that after about 15 minutes nothing happened and I cancelled the operation. My mystery problem appears to have been solved by another mystery. I no longer get the nag message. However, Seamonkey seems to take much longer to open. I'm not sure if that is because of Seamonkey or something on my system.

These are the first problems I have had with a release going back literallz for zears. Advice would be appreciated. As for the keyboard problem: it seems that you have an alternate keyboard configured in your computer. Windows allows you to have several keyboards configured, and will attempt to remember which layout to use in which window. From the errors you mention, you seem to have both a QWERTY-based layout (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Scandinavian languages and several others) and a QWERTZ-based layout (German and Eastern Europe, mostly). The solution is to open the Windows Control Panel, click on the Change Keyboards or other input methods link, click on the Change keyboards button and uninstall the undesired keyboard layouts. As for the open blank page when closing... does this happens only when you are trying to closing the last tab on the windows, or always? The load-blank-page-on-closing-the-last-tab thing is there by design, and can be turned off by an about:config option. If it's happening in other situations, however, there might be something else wrong. Thanks for the reply. The keyboard problem only occurred while typing in the news reader and as you can see, it appears to have disappeared. I do have an alternate keyboard program installed but it is and has been set for English (US). The glitch comes and goes at random but only in e-mail and this news group. I did run Periforms Crap Cleaner after sending my post and cleaned out a lot of buried Temp files along with other junk in my browser and operating system, Win 7 Pro. I also ran a system scan that found no problems. Perhaps that took care of the problem. As for the blank windows, they did occur when I had several tabs open along with programs that I was using to attach files to e-mail. In several cases, my ISP rejected the send option because the files were too large. A blank window opened with each rejection. For now, things seem to be working properly and I will post if the problems return. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: 2.22 Closing page in browser opens blank page. Keyboard errors.

The solution is to open the Windows Control Panel, click on the Change Keyboards or other input methods link, click on the Change keyboards button and uninstall the undesired keyboard layouts. I agree with your diagnosis, but I wouldn't prescribe surgery. Windows allows the user to toggle between different keyboards, and perhaps the OP has forgotten to do so, or else chosen not to display the tray icon that shows which keyboard is active. So that's what I'd do -- toggle back to QWERTY. Paul: Please see my reply to McBastos above.

2.2 Install offers options but doesn't deliver:
Normally, when I install new versions of Seamonkey I check custom so that I can disable things like Chatzilla and a couple of other services I never. I installed 2.2 on my laptop, selected Custom which only offered installation directory choice and where I wanted shortcuts. I tried it twice, no change. Consequently, I something called IRC Chat in my quick launch bar (which I absolutely do not want) and 2.2 seems to be loading pages much slower with too many time outs. How do I fix this or is there another installer that will actually control what is installed like earlier versions? azed13 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
