Well... just as I was replying to your suggestion - Ian phoned me. (I'd fotgotten he gets half day off on wednesdays)
So I cried down the phone at him - what a long suffering chap he is - brilliant too as you'll now hear.
He said what you do is go offline, use Explore, go to Program Files/mozilla.org/seamonkey/components/ and delete the file in there called:compreg.dat - close explore and you're done - I tried it and abracadabra! It worked!!!
It was a problem with an earlier version of seamonkey but I still had it because I installed seamonkey from the external hard drive instead of copying the seamonkey.exe file to my C drive before installing it...
It's these little things that can trip you up.
This is great, It means I can now go download Bryce5 for free (lost the CD somewhere and may not find it before I have to leave for college) and thus have a back up - even though I have 5.5c.
Nice to have back-ups.
Thanks Mahray very very much for trying to help. If Ian hadn't rung I would have tried FireFox next as you suggested so thus would at least have been able to narrow the fault down to SeaMonkey. But as it is, I'm cured.
I wonder what the next fault will be???
