Whenever I try to open Wordpad, I get an Error message that says "Failed to create empty document
Don't know what happened but maybe anyone out there might have some ideas as to why this is happening
Thanks
 
Try this
Go to Add\Remove - Windows Component

Remove the Check Beside Wordpad to remove it (I beleive its in the accessorys sub catergorie)

Once its removed go back and replace the checkmark to reinstall

Test Wordpad.
 
I tried and could not find Wordpad in my Windows Componets
I did find in a search that there was a Wordpad.exeXXXXX in one of my other folders. When I clicked on the exe above, I just keep getting the Error message

Have since fixed the problem. I found the wordpad program in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\wordpad.exe and created a short cut on desktop land now it works okay.
