Might be disk drive problems. So the first thing to do is backup all
your hard drives.
Trying to determine what events send SM into a spin.
Whatever it is, it seems to be happening just to you so I'd be looking
at the machine.
I have 3 profiles and it happens on all 3
Is one of the three brand new? Probably doesn't matter since
There are also times when I start in safe mode, it just sits there
but it's nice not starting off with bad assumptions. So... you have
cleared your cache, emptied the trash, compressed mail folders & ...
I'm drawing a blank for what other temporary files SM leaves behind.
So, first, is it SeaMonkey or something else like your A/V hanging?
Run process explorer
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
and when SM hangs see what's using all the CPU
You could also try process monitor
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
and maybe find something. It's a lot like trying to drink from a
firehose but it seems like it shows pretty much everything
I've booted, cleaned and defragged
Disk checkup might show something going bad
http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm
Have you checked for bad sectors on the disk? It can take hours, so
before going to bed open windows explorer, right click on the drive,
left click on properties, select the Tools tab, in the Error Checking
pane click on check now, select both
Automatically fix file system errors
Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
and you probably have to reboot.
If you have multiple hard drives make sure to check them all

I have several windows dump files from various
percentages of CPU load.
There are also times when I start in safe mode, it just sits there
the UI is dead and may only display the account level, sometimes
the folders show up, but no navigation is possible.
Still trying to locate debug logging info and how to start it...
Apparently the command line flag is for a developer to step
thru the code
it only starts a DOS window,
Thanks

Straight text works fine, there's something in the mails with
embedded
images.
I've booted, cleaned and defragged , after it freezes, I can
restart
and
sometimes
view the mail it got stuck on.
It would be helpful if there was a log of loading (websites) so I
could see
if there's something in common.
If SeaMonkey is locking up an addon to show that URLs are
referenced
probably won't work, so use an external proxy. I like Privoxy:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ijbswa/files/Win32/3.0.23%20%28stable%29/
logging is disabled by default, so all the following to config.txt
logdir c:\temp
logfile privoxy.log
debug 1 # Log the destination for each request Privoxy let
through. See also debug 1024.
debug 1024 # Log the destination for requests Privoxy didn't let
through, and the reason why.
debug 4096 # Startup banner and warnings
debug 8192 # Non-fatal errors
and you can try enabling some/all of the following
# == verbose: normally OFF
# debug 8 # show header parsing - helpful but verbose
# debug 16 # log all data
# debug 32768 # show received data
and remember to 'mkdir \temp'
If you haven't heard of Process Monitor it might be worth a try:
Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that
shows real-time
file system, Registry and process/thread activity.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
same with Process Explorer
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

I've sent in a couple of dump files to the list from

Types of events noticed:
Hard CPU loop > 60% of processor.
Keyboard lockup when SM is active window.
Total SM abort , dump files sent, one has my
email to
respond
to...
I have a current Windows dump take when keyboard lockup
occurred.
(send to whom 102Mb)
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue ?
Thanks

First what operating system are you using?
Second, if you can, have you tried to make a new user profile?
Thirdly, I suspect you have attempted to reboot your computer?
This can
often solve strange computer behavior.
Can you log into your computer as another user and launch
Seamonky as
another user?
Don't know what else to suggest.
