I don't know which older version you were using, but you have to
COMPLETELY remove (uninstall) Version 1 of Seamonkey before installing
Version 2. Versions 1 and 2 are incompatible. Even if you install them
into different locations, there are some common file locations that will
overlap and cause conflicts. I would even look in /Program Files/ and
/Document and Settings/.../Application Data/ to be sure there aren't any
residual configuration files left behind.

I had an older version of SeaMonkey installed and it told me that the
folder was full that I had to delete some files and compact the folder
which I did. However, after I did that it still kept saying the same
thing. I thought I would just load the latest version of SeaMonkey which
I did and that would correct the problem. So I did that and it asked me
if I wanted to load that version now and I said yes. It never launched
so I clicked on the desk icon and it wouldn't launched from that either.
I went to the installation folder where it is installed it shows the
icon (SeaMonkey.exe) with a date from the old installation and not a
date of this installation. However there are other folders there that
show today's date on them so I know there was an installation that took
place.
What is going on and how do I fix the problem? I also clicked on the
icon (SeaMonkey.exe) in this folder and it didn't launched the program.
This icon has the old installation date and not the new installation
date. I tried to do a new installation and that didn't make any
difference. PS I don't want to lose my existing emails or folders in
correcting this problem if at all possible. Right now I have nothing in
the way of SeaMonkey. Thanks
