Check your desktop settings for: Screen Saver = Blank Screen Saver/Advanced/Power Schemes = Home/Office Desk. Turn off monitor after 15min, all remaining options = Never. Sometimes a program, or web app. will temporarily change the Windows functions, and they need to be reset.

I seem to remember a report that Firefox would usually crash after a sleeping PC (Windows) woke up. I don't remember if this was a Firefox problem or a Windows problem. I would suspect that you are seeing the same failure since SeaMonkey has much in common with Firefox. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ Are taxes too high in the U.S.?

I thought the plugin processes had been isolated (with much fanfare) so they /couldn't/ crash SeaMonkey.
