Random changes can be caused by a failing disc drive or (much less likely) a failing memory. Other causes can be malware or conflicting extensions. I suggest you try the following sequence. 1. Run your anti-virus application to do a complete scan of your system (memory and disc). If malware is indeed found, delete it. 2. Run SeaMonkey in Safe Mode for an extended period. If the problem does not occur, run SeaMonkey in normal mode for an extended period but with half of your extensions disabled. a. If the problem does not occur, enable half of the disabled extensions. Repeat until the problem occurs, at which point you can isolate which extensions contribute to the problem. You will then have to desable or remove at least one of the offenders. b. If the problem occurs in Safe Mode, it is NOT caused by any extension conflict. 3. Open the Properties window for your hard drive. Select the Tools tab. Select the Check Now button. Check both checkboxes. Select the Start button. This will likely require you to reboot Windows. If you purge the events in the Windows Event Viewer, you will easily see if there were any disc errors detected. The Event Viewer is reached via [Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer]; under Windows Logs, open each file of logs, right-click, and select Clear Log. After the disc is scanned, repeat going to the Event Viewer; I think the results should appear in the Application log. 4. Go to <http://www.memtest86.com/> and get the Memtest tool to test your PC's memory. This will require creating a self-loading CD or flash stick and also require changing your boot setup. To reach your boot setup menu, you must press function key F2 while doing a cold or warm boot. Remember to record on paper what changes you make to your setup so that you can later undo them. Run the tool through at least one full cycle. -- David Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump now denies there are any tapes that recorded his conversations with ex-FBI Director Comey. Between when Trump hinted there might be such tapes and his denial, there was sufficient time to destroy any tapes. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
