d. alexander Do you mean notepad.exe? If so try system file checker and see if it won't extract it for you. Wordpad will also work. Just save as .txt tc

d. alexander If you can be sure the notepad.exe that resides on your other machine is clean I would think there should be no problem copying it over to your new machine after disabling your virus protection. tc

NotePad.EXE ... This file comes with Windows 98. It's compressed in a .CAB file. To get it from your CD, you must EXTRACT it. The easy way... On my Win98 CD, NotePad.EXE is found in G:\Win98\WIN98_42.CAB My CD is G:, but yours may be different. Click this WIN98_42.CAB file in Explorer and a window will open, with NotePad.EXE shown among many other files. Right-click NotePad.EXE and an Extract button will appear. Click Extract, and you'll be given a chance to pick a destination. Put it somewhere you can remember, but not in C:\WINDOWS\ folder. Now that you have a fresh copy, try it out. If it works OK, copy it to C:\WINDOWS\NotePad.EXE overwriting your corrupt copy. If it doesn't work, you have other troubles. Cheers, PW. P.S. If NotePad.EXE isn't in WIN98_42.CAB, use FIND to locate it. Put *.CAB in the files box, NOTEPAD.EXE in the Containing Text box, and your CD in the Look in box. This method is the same for extracting any other file from Windows CD cabinets too.
