TB wont start
Greetings
I am having a serious problem getting any version of Thunderbird, after V5 to work. TB will not start or run after any update from V5 to V6 or V7 or V8. I tried every iteration of update, 5 to 6, 5 to7, 5 to 8 NO JOY. In each case, after what appears to be a normal install (update) with no errors reported or detected, starting TB in every way possible, nothing happens and nothing appears on screen. However, a check of task manager shows a TB "process" running. Another attempt to start TB starts a second TB process, TB never appears in the "applications" category in task manager. If I re-install TB-5 everything works fine. I have tried every combination of uninstall/reinstall I could think of... w/wo admin, w/wo antivirus, w/wo compatibility's, install over, remove then install, download V6, V7, V8 from Mozilla web page and FTP site, start w/wo add-ons enabled/disabled, start in TB safe mode.... still no joy. Revert back to V5 then install 6,7,8 delete V5 then install V6,7,8....NO JOY!!!! I must be missing some step or process to get TB going. I have been at this since TB 6 was offered as an auto update. When TB7 and 8 came along, I tried each of those and basically repeated the above process for each... NO JOY The system: Win7-home-premium-64bit-(current updates), 24G ram, I 950 CPU, Gigabyte X58A-UD3R MOBO, SATA3-HD, SATA2-HD, GForce 68000-xt graphics, Samsung 24" monitor. NOTE: TB-V5, works fine as do all the add-ons. Thank you in advance for your time and efforts MikeH |

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts MikeH Well, good luck, and maybe you'll get a response, but my own experience and the number of postings here this year indicate to me that we're in an empty cave here. Somewhere, there may be a lively forum on Thunderbird, but it sure ain't here. |

Aha! Previously, I didn't know there _is_ a Mozilla set of newsgroups. Specifically, I find, via news.mozilla.org (for instructions on accessing them, Google "Subscribing to news.mozilla.org newsgroups with Thunderbird"). I reissued there a posting I put here this May and which never got a response, and found a lively thread this morning. Thanks. |
