I just had a scare - could not run Seamonkey.  Every time I tried, even
right after a cold boot, I got a message like: "Seamonkey is already
running.  You need to shut it down or restart your machine".   But, as
though SM was a ghost, I had no place to go to shut it down.

I spend a bit of time rebooting, Virus scanning, and even a full XP
partition restore but the result was always the same.  I started to prepare
for a HD reformatting by saving some current files but when I went to save
my SM profile, I could not find its whole directory - it had disappeared.

I restored the whole profile directory from a backup and bang - SM is alive
and well.   I have no idea why or how the profile got deleted.

My point: if you get an "SM already running" message, it may be a profile
problem.
