Are you able to reproduce this problem in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Also, could you paste any entries from the error console here on this bug (Tools -> Error Console).

Given the timing, I would expect that someone has changed something, and normally an extension would probably be to blame. Maybe one got updated automatically?

Yes this problem still occurs in safe mode.

I think i've managed to work out what the problem is. I think it was because the pc is on an active directory it recieves the program from a server computer and the version on the server is version 1.5.0.8 (20061025). Recently some software was installed on the pc loacally and from that thunderbird was updated to version 2 on the pc. I noticed that when i restarted thunderbird a windows installer popped up and said it was installing the version above. I have since removed the updated version from the pc and let the server install  1.5 and since then there have been now problems.
