Re: TBird Issues for Midrange

I never rely on the "Applications" tab. (Indeed, I find that tab pretty much useless.) Instead, use the "Processes" tab, click on the "Image name" column to sort by the program name, and look for anything named "thunderbird.exe"

Anyway, I re-booted the PX (XP Pro at SP3). Still telling me that TBird is
already running. So I restored the profile from the MozBackup. TBird loads
- but the @#$% "Sending Message..." progress box keeps says "Status:
Attaching" and won't go away.

I've never seen this problem, and I use Thunderbird constantly. Not sure what else to try, except perhaps this:

1) Delete all profiles (via profile manager)
2) Uninstall Thunderbird
3) Delete C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird (if it exists)
4) Delete C:\Documents and Settings\-you-\Application Data\Thunderbird for any users on the system.
5) Search the registry for anything containing thunderbird. Delete these.
6) Reboot
7) Reinstall Thunderbird.
