Tguyus, I have never had any problems with EditPad Lite on my system, it has always been perfectly stable for me, but there are a large number or alternatives out there. Two that you might considder are: P F E = Programmer's File Editor ( 32-bit ). http://www.geocities.com/thestarman3/tool/pfe/PFE32.htm Or Vim. http://www.vim.org/ If you check out the text editor section of a freeware site such as NONAGS and you will find a lot more. http://www.nonags.com/
