Windows Vista and 7 / Re: I lost my notepad.exe in win 7

If you need an editor just download Open Office. It's free and very good.

Thank you...it looks interesting but confusing by what they offer. They offer 2 'packs', one full dist. and the other Language. and if I am not mistaken one cannot be downloaded withour the other, please correct me if I am wrong. I just want a simple editor and english...

Windows Vista and 7 / I lost my notepad.exe in win 7

« Last post by Novel8 on May 10, 2024, 07:15:32 AM »

Out of nowhere, it just disappeared on its own, as far as I know. One suggestion was to add a certain syntax to t he command prompt and it would appear. I tried that and a notepad screen appeared ready for input text, so i stared listing my medications and then chose to print it out, then disaster came. I had listed 6 meds. and seperate sheets of paper came out of my printer showing indvidual medicatins. I would WANT only one sheet showing 6. Normal notepad would have done so...so is there a way to get back my notepad?

Really? Why? You can Google yourself, but it is really  closing down. 
The service is presently in use, but may stop soon. Look around.

I just lost mine, mi culpa, now I can not get it back. Fortunately y I have a relative that is helping out and he pays for it. 

This is important for old folks at the low end of Social Security.

Windows 10 and 11 / Re: Timing conflict in a x32Win10ProV22H2 batch file

Interesting...

 I would have thought that adding a time delay in the batch would be the cure actually either using the SLEEP command following the prior service to fully start before moving onto the next START instruction or if SLEEP isn't available the ping 127.0.0.1 -n 15 instruction ( to make a time delay in pinging home for 15 iterations ), as time delays can avoid race conditions. The value of 15 can be any value of choice 1 or greater to make a short delay or longer delay before starting the next START instruction.

It turns out that running the batch minimized using Task Scheduler solves the problem.

Jogee, are your personal files backed up?

If they are then I would suggest trying a fresh installation of Windows.
If they aren't backed up then I would suggest trying a repair installation of Windows.


P.S. - LM, he can download but not install.

Hi Sebastian

As this is a syn-tech question using  Macro express it may be an idea to ask on their forums.
