Mozilla 1.1 does not read Profiles anymore. Last time it worked, next time not

bookmarks, no mail accounts etc...) I tried Mozilla 1.2.1 it it wont load, too.

can you start mozilla 1.2.1 with a fresh profile "mozilla -profilemanage" ?

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Have you deleted registry.dat ?
You can try this : 
Create a new profile with the EXACT same name as the old one.
(Upper/lower case ..) and Mozilla will use your old profile.

The Profile Manager shows up and i can choose a profile.
But I already set up all again and copied the old files.
Only the Mail Account files (...\Mozilla\Profiles\...\Mail\...) work. Same error
like above if I copy the other files, too.
