Samuel,

I don't know what else to offer but try to re-install NCU, if you already
haven't done it. Did you try transferring a note to a text document on your
PC?

That's pretty much what I can think about. Any PC expert here???

-Laurent.

********************** Usual disclaimers apply **********************
brute force adj.: Describes a primitive programming style, one in which the
programmer relies on the computer's processing power instead of using his or
her own intelligence to simplify the problem, often ignoring problems of
scale and applying naive methods suited to small problems directly to large
ones. The term can also be used in reference to programming style:
brute-force programs are written in a heavyhanded, tedious way, full of
repetition and devoid of any elegance or useful abstraction (see also brute
force and ignorance).
