Hi there. I have read recently that when installing 2.0 don't install the the same directory as version 1.1.18 or it will disable the application and both versions will be disabled. Install 2.0 into a different directory or the default install settings location in the install program. Also, It may be wise to first uninstall the earlier version before installing 2.0 because this is what happened to me, although my SM2.0 works properly, the earlier version of Seamonkey is still in my computer and in my windows quicklaunch. I just keep both versions in my computer until I find out if uninstalling the older version will disable the newer version. The version 2.0 may not be an upgrade but an entirely independent program. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
