179948 - download manager does not appear

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 171441

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[awaken01]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

I recently upgraded from Mozilla 1.1 to 1.2b.  Since I upgraded the download
manager will not appear, when I try to download a file, or even when I do Tools
> Download Manager.  No error message, nothing happens.  Occasionally, after I
do this, I exit Mozilla and get a system fault.  One interesting thing is that
after I upgraded, I did turn "off" download manager, then I turned it back on
again.  Maybe it's stuck off?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla 1.2b
2. Do Tools > Download Manager
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Download manager should appear

This is perilously close to a showstopper problem for me.  At this point, I'm
not sure I can download anything using Mozilla 1.2b.  Surely this would have
been noticed by now by someone else, so all I can assume is that I've tripped
over a subtle bug somewhere.  Please contact me if you need more information.

I'm using a Compaq (bleck) Armada M700 laptop running Win2K Pro with 512M of RAM
and 8GB hdd.
