Has anyone ever had their word processing software refuse to work?

To avoid my own memory problems, this may be the only place I can ctrl-v and not be off-topic. This may also mean I cannot save hm3 text files anymore unless I put all rough drafts in my own thread? Rough day. At least my migraine is finally gone.

Actually, this did happen to me once, on my old computer. It has not happened on this one.

Also, I don’t know what OS you’re using, but I’ve been saving my text saves to Notepad on Windows (i.e. .txt files), rather than MS-Word .doc files.

Google Docs is also another alternative, though, like Myro, I do use Notepad for my saves. I hope you can find a way to save your characters.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I might be sweating it out till an old fan of mine blows through town tomorrow and gives us his usual free tech advice consult. But if that doesn’t happen I may be trying g-d or etc. My current cp uses something called ‘works’ which doesn’t have the works, but usually has enough.

Try looking for Wordpad. It’s been installed on every MS machine since the beginning of time (well, Win95).

[Herr D]

Woohoo! Of all things, word proc software malfunction and heavy lag time was a DYING WIRELESS MOUSE BATTERY! I hadn’t thought of that. We may be back to regularly abnormal now.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why this forum exists.

DYING WIRELESS MOUSE

I’d render it in HM3, if I were you…
