Default wordpad problem

Did you download the viewer Alan recommended? After that viewer is
downloaded and installed, start it, and use the file / open menu options to
access the document you downloaded.

thanks for your reply. tried your suggestion. right clicked and
chose "save target as" file.doc

then, in windows explorer, left clicked on the file, all that was
saved
was a blank wordpad document with the rectangular error message

"This program has performed an illegal operation
and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor"

which vendor???

click on the file menu and click "open", i get the same as
above.
