Notepad won't open Thread poster: Susana Galilea

I just tried to open a file saved in text format, and got the message: "Windows cannot find notepad.exe" I have had problems in the past couple of days with attempted infection by the "downloader.revop.a" virus. My anti-virus picked those up and the files are listed as "healed" in the report. However, one of the files affected is precisely the "notepad.exe" file. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Susana Galilea ...

Try this. Go to START. then FIND. Type NOTEPAD.EXE. Your computer may find more than one of them. Try double-clicking on whichever ones listed. It may be that the "shortcut" notepad.exe was ruined but the "real" one opens it. Worth a shot. good luck | |

Thank you all so very much, this is all pointing me in the right direction. I have been trying to follow the directions for removing the virus, but can't seem to make it past "click Start, then Programs, then wait for the MS-DOS Prompt". I am on Windows XP, there does not seem to be an MS-DOS option anywhere. Help, please | | | NGK United States Local time: 03:46 DOS prompt in Win XP | Mar 31, 2004 |

To navigate to different directories, type: cd [directory] E.g., to go to root directory: cd c:[backslash] To go to windows directory: cd windows

That worked, except the result of all this is "0 infected, 0 repaired files" and I still can't open my documents created in text format Perhaps I am not understanding what "downloading [a file] to the root of drive C" means? Thanks for all the help | | | NGK United States Local time: 03:46

Not sure which instructions you're following here; but the root of drive C is (normally) the root of your hard drive (C colon backslash). When you click on My Computer, you can see all the drives in your system. Click on drive C (probably named "Local Disk"), and you're at the root of drive C. (If you're using the DOS prompt, type "cd c:[backslash]".) This is where you're supposed to place said file. | |
