O.K., maybe we're on to something. However, there are a couple of
problems:
     -- the profile rtfmbobp, default no longer exists, as it was
deleted from profile manager.
     -- we can't even get to preference settings, in that SM never opens
to that point. The error message comes first.
Bummer!


Okay, stop! Just do this, step by step.

0) Close SeaMonkey...you will want to print this out or paste into a
temporary notepad window for reference

1) In Windows explorer go to
"C:\Users\Linda\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\"

2) What is the *actual* profile folder name there if it is not
"rtfmbopb.default"? In fact whatever it just is make a copy of that
folder within
"C:\Users\Linda\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\". Then
rename the copy to "linda.fixed". So now the profile you want total path
is:

  "C:\Users\Linda\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\linda.fixed"

3) In that profile folder find and open in notepad "prefs.js"

4) Search for "mailnews.start_page.enabled" and edit the line to match
below:

user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", false);

5) Save "prefs.js"

6) Go to "C:\Users\Linda\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\" in Explorer

7) Rename "profiles.ini" to "profiles.ini.disabled"

8) Create a new "profiles.ini" and paste exactly below:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/linda.fixed

9) Save the file as "profiles.ini", in Windows you may have to have the
option to DISABLE "Hide extensions of known file type" to prevent ".txt"
from being added.

10) Drag an temporary shortcut to Seamonkey to your desktop

11) Right-click on shortcut and select properties and edit Target to add
" -P default" so it should be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe" -P default

12) Launch SeaMonkey from that shortcut to test.

If all goes well and it should, you can remove all profile folders EXCEPT:

"C:\Users\Linda\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\linda.fixed"


Well? OP, did it fix your issue?

Take care,
