Default Component editor

Has anyone been able to get this to function in WinXP or is there a better/newer option?

Wordpad? You need to find a better text editor. Plenty of free ones out there.

You might try MetaPad. It's free and very robust.

I use the component editor with XP with no trouble. Then, I switch to Notepad for the really hardcore editing.

I swear I'll finish some day.

MetaPad. Most definitely MetaPad. It can handle big files and is very handy to use. Its interface is a mix between Notepad and Wordpad, and it's simply much better than both. I never use Word anymore since I installed OpenOffice (which sometimes makes my pc hang up and which I never use to edit .txt files). I don't even think if Word can open .txt files?
