I am the original poster of this topic. The easiest solution is to junk TextPad and move on to something better, possibly ****. As a registered user of TP for many years, I must say I am upset at the attitude at Helios.

From the Start menu choose:

1. Control panel
2. Add or Remove Programs
3. Select TextPad
4. Click on Remove


I guess you did not understand what I was saying in my last post. I attempted the add/remove thing at your suggestion and it errored out with exactly the same messages that I have in the ...

Well, your suggestion to uninstall the current version of TP did not work. I basically got the same error messages from the uninstaller that I reported in the original post.

What can I do now?

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

That was quick. Thank you!

bbadmin,

Thanks for the reply.

After uninstalling my current version and installing 4.7.3 do I need to uninstall that version before installing 5.0.3?

I just discovered that there was a new version of TP. I have been running 4.7.2 for quite some time. I downloaded the 5.0 distro and tried to install it with no luck. :( Here are the error messages:

I am using a freeby PCB (Printed Circuit Board) editor PCB123. TO add new parts to the parts libraries it is required that the user create a text file with the extension .LIB :? This is not a wise choice on the part of PCB123's creators. My TextPad already has the .LIB included in the Binary ...

I am using PICmicroASM.syn as the syntax file and I have it in the USER folder where my other .syn files are stored. I am using TP 4.7.2 and have been a user for quite a few years. I am unable to get the systax coloring to work even though I have enabled that in the preferences. I also have a .syn ...

Talleyrand,

Thanks for the reply. It partially solved the problem. I created a document with a text file with a "ruler" on it. On a row I placed a string of numbers '12345678901234567890....' from the left edge to column 80. Above it I placed a 1 or 2 or 3 ... over each 0 by spacing (not tabbing ...

O.K. I give up. I have been struggling to configure my preferences in order to insure that what I see on the screen is what gets printed on my HP inkjet printer.

If I confine a line of characters to less than column 80 (perhaps 77) on the screen and then print the file I get word wrap. I want all ...
