Mine is infected with a virus so does anyone have a dl link to it...

Get rid of the virus first. Once it's gone you'll most likely have notepad again. Try reformatting your computer too. Save all your important files though.

rienstall windows xp or what ever you have

eh.... id hate if that happened with me.... cuz its so hard for me to get rid of viruses.... some infected files wont delete and they just stay on my comp.... it pisses the crap outa me

Do virus scans every once in a while.
But yeah, maybe re-install your program..

my notepad doesn't even owkr anymore either
hrmm oh well

Actually, I have this thing..

Where I download this really small program and it's notepad, but u can get it on the itnernet. My notepad stopped working so I got that and it started working again. If you want, I can send it to u.

yeah get rid of the virus... u can jus download it agen-_-;;;; lol so like reformatt ur computer-_-

if notepad don't work. just reinstall window xp. First,reformat then reinstall. If u have two harddrives, make sure u scan both of them after you install window xp on your primary and scan your secondary harddrive or it can resurface. U should also dl some antivirus and use a firewall to make sure u don't get one again.

tried reformatting it, and deleting it. it doesnt work. still there. and is the program ur talking about is EditPad? Well give me a link to spybot search and destroy maybe that will help.

You know there are better programs than notepad. Try using dreamweaver for text editing.

actually, I just wanna get bak to viewing source lol

um...no.

I've had a similar problem, and when I deleted the virus, the notepad disappeared along with it. u dont need to reinstall or reformat anything...there is always a way to delete the virus alone. just download Notepad.exe by clicking here and put it in C:/WINDOWS/System32. you might need to go to Tools<Internet Options<Programs and adjust the HTML Editor. after that, you should be able to view source and have notepad up and running again.

Dreamweaver will never replace notepad...how long does it take to load notepad compared to dreamweaver? definitely inconvenient.

I have dled notepad and i cant put it in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder. The virus is NAMED notepad and I cant delete it nor override it with the new notepad...bak to square one...

try downloading "KillBox"...it'll delete lots of those undeletable files, including viruses.

if you have windows xp maybe the system resotre willhelp

yeah, i have it, dont know how that helps you thouhg

I'd download your hardware again.

Just download it again.. U know what? After I started using it for like a week, everything that used to be NotePad started working again. If it's a virus, delete the NotePad file containing the virus then reinstall it again. U don't have to reformat unless alot of files were attacked and u can't stop it by deleting 1 file.

Try Win32Pad.

try editpad i use it sometimes its almost the same as notepad but you can preview your work in ie or whatever browser you want and you can have like 5 diffrent page opened at once and they'll all be together (i cant reallie explain it

thats an easy way

or go through the control panel and go to "add or remove programs" and go to the componets thing on the side and unistall it there and reinstall it in the same place..

Why would you use notepad... it's a piece of crap.

Agreed. I love Editpad for editing, it makes life so much easier. I think you're talking about the tabs, so you can have multiple files open at once in one browser and just tab through.
