Reinstall windows...but that is a bit radical. I could ofcourse give you the dutch version

Lol.. would Outlook 2002 have anything to do with the deletion of notepad? I doubt it.... I was playing Unreal Tournament, and i downloaded "gamespy" to play against other people... but i think gamespy is worthy, and not "virus-giving"....

I thought I heard it has spyware/adware. I suggest using spybot s&d, ad-aware, and free virus scan from trend micro.

I use them all regularly on a weekly basis.

Gamespy has some Spyware in it...

Okay, i did spybot. I've heard a lot about it, and i think it's good.

However, I am a bit concerned that it might delete some important system files. OH well, too late now.

Same thing happened to me... And no, SpyBot hasn't deleted anything important in the year or so that I've used it. Just a whole lotta spyware!

Well, i've run spyware, but notepad still doesnt work...

Go to your Add/remove programs thing and click on add/remove windows components. Then just choose Notepad from the list, and install.

You might need your windows disk in when you go to the Add/Remove programs.
