Mozilla Thunderbird:

Post by ^rooker »

[PROBLEM]
(win32): I've installed Thunderbird 1.5 on my machine, but as soon as I try to start it I get this errormessage:
Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system.
And when I start the Profile Manager, I get:
Thunderbird cannot use the profile "XXX" because it is in use.
To continue, close the running instance of Thunderbird or choose a different profile.

[SOLUTION]
It seems that there were some leftovers from previous installations - I should have known this already when I saw a "non-default" profile name in the Profile Manager.

I've simply created a new profile, deleted the old one - AND its files (usually somewhere in "Documents & Settings\username\...." ).
