Try to search a "Parent.lock"-File in your Profile-Folder and delete this File while SeaMonkey was not running at all (check this with Task-Manager and kill the process if Seamonkey is still running after close Programm normaly). 

But Bugzilla is no place for User-Support, better look for the support-newsgroup, Link available over http://www.mozilla.org/support/

Also it was useful to have a look into the Task-Manager if there was an seamonkey.exe process still runing. The process can be killed there.

If this Problem still exists for you try to give more information here, otherwise I will close this Bug as "Incomplete" soon to lower the number of open unconfirmed Bugreports.

Because of the lack of more Information I will close this Bug as "Incomplete" for now. 

Martin, if you see the Problem at time with an current Build (SeaMonkey 1.1.9 at Moment), and the given hints won't help, feel free to reopen this Bug and give more Information to help find the Cause of this Problem.
