Using 2.6 b3 on HP DV7 laptop windows 7 64bit, the other day I was sending out an email with a small attachment, and before it was finished, I hit cancel to make some changes, and got the dreaded BSOD, which I have not ever before or since had on this computer.
After going back to a restore point in windows, I had to reinstall Seamonkey, and lightning, and now everything is working again, but i'm scared of the cancell button.
Has anyone else experienced this???

Re: BSOD after cancel sending email
What was the BSOD?
(Perhaps BlueScreenView could shed some light.)
Would think it highly irregular for SeaMonkey to be the cause of a BSOD.
(Only thing that would come to mind possibly could be video card [& SeaMonkey] related?)
(Surprised that SeaMonkey was affected by the Restore Point, but maybe its different in W7 in that respect?)

Fire 750, bring back 250.

Re: BSOD after cancel sending email
The good thing is, it hasn't happened agiin, even though I have not actually tried to cancel a send in progress.
It seems the Win 7 restore point digs up an old copy of the registry, and replaces the newer one.
I lost recent files on the recent file lists, and maybe because I had just recently installed 2.6b3, the new registry entries were replaced with older ones, which may have prevented Seamonkey from starting after the restore..
I did not lose any files or emails.
Surprisingly, excel managed to cough up an older version of an autosave file, and stupidly, I saved that over my newer one.
Wonders of windows...
