Try replacing Notepad.exe (in the Windows folder) with a fresh copy from the cab
files on your Windows CD (or the cab file location on your hard drive), using the
"Extract one file" option of System File Checker (SFC).

If Glen's suggestion doesn't help, I would run a full scan with an up to
date anti virus program. Follow that with a hunt for scumwa

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.
