"The parameter is incorrect" error from offline fo

[ruddg]

I have 4.7.0 & Windows XP Pro on a laptop that is using syncronized offline folders. After an upgrade from 4.6.2, things seemed to be fine. I was playing with syntax files and highlighting when I began getting an error. While I am "offline" and attempt to open a text file from within the offline folder, I get "The parameter is incorrect". This then leads to much unstable behavior in Textpad. I did not have this trouble with 4.6.2 and did not notice it immediately after the 4.7.0 upgrade. I have tried reinstalling, removing all Textpad registry entries and all add-on syntax files, and even a System Restore and re-upgrade, but the problem persists. Any ideas

Trying to use TextPad 4.70, but whenever I open a text file, TextPad reports "Parameter Incorrect" and opens nothing. Result: TextPad is now useless.

Guess I'll have to go back to 4.6x. Somebody please let me know when this bug is fixed.

Thanks.

I have no problem with 4.7 reading files on my hard drive, but cannot open files on CD. I receive the same pop up error from textpad, "The parameter is incorrect".

If I copy the file from the CD to the desktop, I can then open the file with Textpad.

So the file is good, but the "location" of the file is causing Textpad some problems.

I'm running windows 2003 enterprise server and is happing the same thing. I tried the Alan solution for dlb-clicking, and for that problem is just work fine, but for this, open a text file from a CD, is showing the Runtime error message.

When opening java source file:

Double-click yields "The parameter is incorrect." when accessing LAN drive for file.

Have the following:

Windows XP Professional
TextPad 4.7.0
File is java source with UNIX end of line characters.

Obviously I'm not the only one getting this error!

I have the same problem, whenever I try to access a text file on my CD-ROM drive I get a popup message with 'The parameter is incorrect'. This happens if I use the 'File>>Open' menu option or if I am in Windows Explorer and use the 'Send To' option. If I copy the file to my hard drive then I can open it just fine. If I use Microsoft Notepad and access the CD-ROM it opens just fine. What do I need to do get around this problem?

PS I like to do searches to find snippets of code that I have on CDROM. This doesn't work either.

Just wanted to echo that I'm having the same problem accessing files from CD-ROM.

At least you guys "solved" my problem. I copied them to disk and now I can use them...
