I was running some programs to find and fix Malware, etc. Somehow the process damaged or deleted a TB file so a script is failing. I tried 'yes' continue running script and 'no' don't continue to run script without success. TB Script seems to go into a loop consuming most of the disk access and CPU cycles. Firefox and other apps seem to be working. Uploading picture doesn't seem to be working SO . . . . . .

ERROR MESSAGE LOOKS LIKE:

! An error has occurred in the script on this page. Line 119 Char 2 Error: Permission denied Code: 0 URL: file:///C:Program%20Files%20 (x86) Earthlink/ISP/ISP8230?hta/station.brt Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? YES - NO

1. backup your Thunderbird profile (google will find steps) 2. reinstall THunderbird from getthunderbird.com 3. The error you cite seems to point to something "earthlink" related - make sure it isn't messing with Thunderbird.

Screen shots are a great thing - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
