Notepad problem.

[Orlando Reyes]

After opening notepad and work for a few minutes, it just
closes by itself.

I tried copying a newd notepad.exe but it did not work.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks,

Orlando

I'd check your processes, sounds like you might have some
sort of virus.

Hi Orlando,

Do you have an AVP up to date, a firewall (hardware or software). That's the basics.
You also would do well to go to www.spychecker.com and d/l Adaware, SpyBot S&D, and
Highjack This. And the most important item; learn what they are used for and how to
stay safe online.

You may also want to run an online scan at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ ,
look under virus definitions.

You would also do well by reading, understanding, and incorporating the proper use
of "strong passwords", and the reason for doing that. (Hint: hackers)

good luck,
don

Try a command line
Start
Run...
"type" sfc /scannow <enter>

You also can do a "repair install"
Start
Help
"type" repair install
