Default Help! Wordpad quit running....what to do?

Wordpad has quit working.

Today, I clicked on a file that is linked to Wordpad, instead of
opening the text file, a box with red cross came up:

Something about abnormally terminating.


Ok, went to C:\Program Files\Accessories\Wordpad.exe and clicked
directly on Wordpad.exe.

Same error message.

Then I uninstalled Wordpad. Sure enough didn't see it anymore in
folder.

Reinstalled from CD, good,there it is again.

BUT...

error message
abnormally terminating.

Wordpad was handy for oversized text files and some other things. How
do I get it back?

Default Help! Wordpad quit running....what to do?

Many errors in Wordpad are fixed by removing this key in the Registry
with Regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt
Version\Applets\Wordpad
A restart may be necessary.

Thank you. That worked!

Although, that was not the error message,

I only removed the Wordpad, followed the instructions for removing the
entry in regedit, rebooted, reinstalled Wordpad and it works.

Is there any way to tell if there are any "sick" programs? Or do you
just let Win98 run until it spits up? I've been getting a lot of
flakey actions, not being able to reboot thus having to use power off.
Are these symptoms some how tied together? - especially Internet
Explorer has been acting strange.

Yes, there can be several error messages but the same fix.
There is normally no need to uninstall/reinstall Wordpad.
Deleting the Registry entry is usually all that is needed.

I suggest you post your other questions as new threads.
You should supply more detail than "acting strange" and the version of
IE. Post that one to an IE group.

IE6/OE6 newsgroups.

The symptoms are not repeatable, along the line of, "...what was
THAT?!" and, "I can't remember the steps that got me to lock up
requiring a total power OFF reboot."

Aaarrrrgggg! Too many groups! Are there that many problems?

Default Help! Wordpad quit running....what to do? QUIT RUNNING AGAIN!

Went to use Wordpad today and same error message as prompted me to
post, and fix, on the 12th.

a little window appears:

In the BLUE bar along the top...
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

RED X Runtime Error!

Program: C:\PROGRAM FILES\ACCESSORIES\WORDPAD.EXE


abnormal program termination


OK


I fixed this on Dec 12th and now it's only the 16th. What's going on?
And what does Visual C++ have to do with wordpad?

I guess Wordpad uses the Visual C++ Runtime Library but it is not my
field.
Without knowing everything you are doing with Wordpad, I really have
no idea what is happening.
Delete the key again and if it misbehaves, export the key before
deleting and email it to me. It shouldn't be very big.
Keep some track (if possible) of what you are doing in Wordpad.

Alan,

Wordpad only came up [opened] because the .txt file was 800KB and too
large for Notepad, thus automatically Windows shifts from Notepad to
Wordpad.

But fails.

I do not normally use Wordpad otherwise.
I do not have Visual C++ on the Win98 system because it won't install
on less than Win XP

The only other application open was Windows Explorer to find the file
to click on. Nothing else running.

the tsr list is very short...
Exploring- (C
Explorer
Osa
Kb891711


The following are copies of the registry key relating to Wordpad. The
before and after version of the register for wordpad and it indeed
changes. Don't know what changes it, nor the significance of the
changes.

But here is the GOOD version...

In the future can I delete the key, then import the one that is known
to work, and just go on. need to reboot? It's just that sometimes I
can't uninstall, delete key, reinstall, and reboot because I have some
information that will get lost during the reboot. Have to wait until
finished with that info. Very irritating.

Robert,

You may care to get into the habit of quoting previous parts of the
thread, as I find it difficult to follow.

Visual C++ Runtime errors can appear without Visual C++ installed.
Many third party applications can install the libraries.
FWIW, Visual C++ has been around much longer than XP and I can verify
it installed on Win98.

I can experiment with the two exports on a Win98 machine when I get
the time (not now, as I am just going out for a long lunch)
It may not help if it is caused by one of the files you are opening,
as I cannot reproduce that.

There is no need to uninstall/install and I thought I made that point
before.
I see no reason to reboot if you are only deleting the key.

Why import one that is good?
Why not just delete the key before you use Wordpad if I can't find an
answer quickly?
Create a small .reg file to delete the key.
Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end
of a line.
The last line must be blank.
Right-click fix.reg and select Merge.

-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

Alan,

Wordpad only came up [opened] because the .txt file was 800KB and too
large for Notepad, thus automatically Windows shifts from Notepad to
Wordpad.

But fails.

I do not normally use Wordpad otherwise.
I do not have Visual C++ on the Win98 system because it won't install
on less than Win XP

The only other application open was Windows Explorer to find the file
to click on. Nothing else running.

The following are copies of the registry key relating to Wordpad. The
before and after version of the register for wordpad and it indeed
changes. Don't know what changes it, nor the significance of the
changes.

But here is the GOOD version...

In the future can I delete the key, then import the one that is known
to work, and just go on. need to reboot? It's just that sometimes I
can't uninstall, delete key, reinstall, and reboot because I have some
information that will get lost during the reboot. Have to wait until
finished with that info. Very irritating.

Default Help! Wordpad quit running....what to do? QUIT RUNNING AGAIN!

Alan,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

You may care to get into the habit of quoting previous parts of the
thread, as I find it difficult to follow.


It is a series of non-intuitive steps to make google's built in editor
quote a previous message.

FWIW, Visual C++ has been around much longer than XP and I can verify
it installed on Win98.


Just the most recently available version (the one I have) won't
install.

I can experiment with the two exports on a Win98 machine when I get
the time (not now, as I am just going out for a long lunch)
It may not help if it is caused by one of the files you are opening,
as I cannot reproduce that.


It is only the one "test" file that displayed the problem. However,
once the problem shows, there is NO way to run Wordpad at all, in any
manner. Since I posted, I tried duplicating the sequence of computer
useage to try and cause the error again. Of course, there was no
failure of Wordpad.

The applications are
femm David Meeker's excellent finite element analysis program
octave John Eaton's excellent GPL version of Matlab compatibility
Internet Explorer 6 not so great, but works when it's not busy
hanging the PC

octave is C++ source compiled on Visual C++ system, so that may be the
library source. But then, so is femm. so could be either.

The text file is 800KB of data numbers, just digits, spaces, digits.

There is no need to uninstall/install and I thought I made that point before.
I see no reason to reboot if you are only deleting the key.

Why import one that is good?
Why not just delete the key before you use Wordpad if I can't find an answer quickly?
Create a small .reg file to delete the key.
Make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called fix.reg
which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of
errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4
Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end of a line.
The last line must be blank.
Right-click fix.reg and select Merge.


-----copy below this line fix.reg------------
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Applets\Wordpad]

---- end file above here


To be able to check what I scooped up I first loaded it into a file
called fix.txt
Here are the contents...
----copy starts here---
REGEDIT4


[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Applets\Wordp*ad]



--end file above here
Are two line spaces between REGEDIT4 and the first active line ok?
Are two line spaces between active line and end of file ok?
NOTE: it looks good, but the last word of the line is...
\Wordp-*ad]
...manually added hyphen to demonstrate text file display, and there is
an added space after close bracket. Some reason the google editor
removes the display of the hyphen, but the text file has the hyphen
inserted. So I typed it in to show you what got scooped.

If I understand correctly, remove the hyphen that was in the original
Wordp-ad to make it Wordpad and remve the space after the ending
bracket, ].

To use fix.reg right click on the file name and select merge, then RUN
Wordpad with no REBOOT and all will be ok?
