I have never seen anything like this. I went to open TB from the taskbar and the only way I can see it is a tiny thumbnail in the upper left corner of my monitor and no way to enlarge it. I closed and reopened several times , no joy. I restarted my desktop, no joy. I managed to arrow to the right from file and got to help. chose the update message. restarted but still same way. If I uninstall it will I lose everything? I was planning to migrate it to my laptop but only going to be home 1 day and afraid to try it. I could use it on Webmail for my trip but I wouldn't have my address book or all of my file folders. H E L P Please.

Can't you drag the tiny thumbnail to a normal size window?

You'd be wasting your time. Profile files are stored separately from the Thunderbird program files. The program files are static and do not change (except when you upgrade the Thunderbird application version). Because we store profile and program files separately, you can uninstall Thunderbird without losing your messages and settings, and if something goes wrong with a Thunderbird update your information will still be available. It also means that you don't have to reinstall Thunderbird in order to delete your information or troubleshoot a problem.
