It used to be the case that, if you copied by CD/DVD, all the files in the new profile were marked as "Read Only" and SeaMonkey needed to be able to write to assorted files. Something like that, anyway! With modern methods of getting the profile from one computer to another, I'm not sure if this still applies! Daniel My old notebook died completely. I removed the old still working hard drive and connected it to my new notebook via adapter and copied the 2.49.4 profile to the new hard drive. Everything worked except Lightning. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Lightning Found
I have installed the new 64 bit version over a 32 bit version successfully. Apparently some people have had problems. My particular situation was attempting to transfer an old profile to a new install. Ronnie wrote: Paul Bergsagel wrote: rob wrote: I found the lightning extension.
