Claus, I would not trust Microsoft when they say the software is not compatible with their system, regardless of what was said about previous versions (I believe you meant SeaMonkey 1.1.18). I would go to the SeaMonkey downloads site and see what version they claim works on your system. They would know, as they built it. As far as how to upgrade, I would do the following: 1. Re-install SeaMonkey 1.1.18 on your system and make sure you have access to your e-mail, etc. This is a priority. You want to make sure that you still have everything and that it is all working. 2. Download the new version of SeaMonkey 2.X and install it. The default installation location for SeaMonkey 2.X is different than the default installation location for SeaMonkey 1.1.X, but in any case, don't install the 2.X version in the same directory you installed the 1.1.X version. Then, you can deal with migrating your existing SM 1.1.X profile to your new SM 2.X profile location. I'll leave that as a topic for someone that's gone through it.
