CCat Purrplexity Premium join:2005-12-06 Wonderland ·RoadRunner Cable ·WOW Internet and C..	[Thunderbird] Can't Start Thunderbird I installed Thunderbird and it ran OK. I messed up the local settings global folder. I have 2 mail accounts. The 1st one showed up but the 2nd one was listed as Local. I couldnt find how to change it so I deleted the profile. I went to restart Thunderbird and it said it was already running. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but I get the same error message. I checked process explorer but did not see an entry for Thunderbird. Anyone know how to fix this? -- *Sometimes My Mind Wanders.....Other Times It Leaves Completely!*

I'm pretty sure that will result in Thunderbird seeing you as a new user with no existing profile, so you get to make a fresh start. If you have Vista, then those directory names might be changed from what I have listed. -- AT&T dsl; Westell 327w modem/router; openSuSE 11.0; firefox 3.0.5

Go to start Thunderbird and it says its running already. -- *Sometimes My Mind Wanders.....Other Times It Leaves Completely!*

CCat Purrplexity Premium join:2005-12-06 Wonderland ·RoadRunner Cable ·WOW Internet and C..	Used total uninstall and uninstalled everything Thunderbird. Reinstalled Thunderbird. Put in the -p switch made another profile besides default. Clicked on that and it started up. Set up a new profile. Restarted it and removed the default profile from the profile manager and removed the -p switch. Now its working. The weird part is the first time I deleted the profile it was located where you said but it was a sub directory under Mozilla. c:\users\myname\appdata\roaming\mozilla\thunderbird\profiles In fact Firefox is still there. Now its: c:\users\myname\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles Whatever happened Im not sure (see sig) but its working fine now. The -p switch let me in. Thanks for your help. -- *Sometimes My Mind Wanders.....Other Times It Leaves Completely!*
