Hi, everyone, I wanted to read a file in wordpad called list of songs that I had written for a friend. When I opened the file in the usual way, all I got was â??wâ?? and nothing else. Then I tried opening the file in windows explorer and the same thing happened. Last I tried opening it with jarte. When I hit the down-arrow key to try to read the first song, all I got was the windows dinging sound. I uninstalled web IE thinking that might be the culprit but it wasnâ??t Iâ??m running windows 7 home premium 64-bit system if this will help. Iâ??m not sure what else to try next. The file is an rtf document. Any help will be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
