strange seamonkey crashing problem

2010-11-19 Thread Jim
SM 2.0.10, Windows XP w/SP3, Pentium 4 with 1.5 gigs RAM.  Last night I 
was using the SM Browser and it crashed.  After that, I could not start 
up the browser.  The "Select a Profile" screen came up, but, as soon as 
I moused over the screen, it would crash.  I tried starting u[ the 
browser with options from the command line, and a page would load just 
fine, until I moused over any place in the page, and it would crashe. 
Same with SM mail.


I couldn't reboot because I was running a distribute computing app in 
the background, and didn't want to lose 4 hours of work.  This morning, 
I came down and SM started up just fine.


Comments on this?  Does SM set some error flag some place?  Seemed like 
something was in memory that SM didn't like.  I'm also running Norton 
Internet Security, and it likes doing stuff during the wee hours of the 
night, so maybe it took up whatever was in memory that was bugging SM?

Jim, a while back, SeaMonkey (or, more likely, it pre-decedent Mozilla 
Suite) had a problem where you were able to close the program, but it 
would still be shown as running in the list of Running programs found 
when you did a Ctrl-Alt-Del, so you were unable to re-start the program 
until you had clicked on the name in the list of running programs and 
then you clicked on Finish or Close or whatever.


You're being ab;e to start SeaMonkey the next morning might have been 
because SM had naturally been closed by Windows.

Actually, SeaMonkey had shut down and no longer appeared in the list of 
running programs in Process Explorer.
