This is happening almost every time I try to use T-Bird. I get a "Not Responding" message & have to close the program. Windows 7 using Avast.

Wayne, I had the problem all day yesterday and closed the computer normally at the end of the day. Today T-Bird has been working glitch free. No changes have been made other than the normal start up. I am sorry I did not try your suggestion & I thank you for being part of the community.

The message says "thunderbird has stopped working", then goes into trying to fix it. I then cancel and have to manually close the program. I now have to re launch T Bird. This happens quite often.

So this message is issued by Windows.

It never hurts to try safe mode and is often a helpful test, although it seems to be way too often ignored and not recommended ...
