4.7.3 colors stopped working

Post by niteowlgary »

I'm using Textpad 4.7.3 on XP Pro SP3, all was working till I opened it up this morning, only thing new on system was Windows updates from last week which I just installed yesterday.

I have restored back to before the updates, but the issue still remains.

All my colors have disappeared. How do I get them back?

I also had to reset all my personal preferences.

I have run the Repair from the installation file, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the program, no joy.

thanks,
niteowl

I don't know what caused it, but there were missing registry entries.

I exported the helios Key from another machine that was still working, and then imported it into this machine, and now it is functioning again.

I don't know why reinstalling did not create those reg. entries again, but it didn't.

all's well that ends!
