Are you saving the text files before closing it out?? Doesnt sound like you are.

and_woox · 04-23-2008, 07:46 PM

How would it causes something like this?

Mak213 · 04-23-2008, 09:25 PM

Well if you do not save the text files you can not have them on your PC as they would not be stored for you to reopen again at a later time.

and_woox · 04-29-2008, 05:04 PM

I save them.
The problem is that the text changes to this symbol.
Have you seen something like this?

Mak213 · 04-29-2008, 06:52 PM

What symbol? I do not see anything. Upload or attach one to a post. I will look at it.

The symbol is ""

Why are you using notepad, have you tried using other typing programs?

Mak213 · 05-07-2008, 07:28 PM

Well that is jsut a unrecognized character symbol. Not much any of us can do. Use Notepad++ for better results.
