      If you keep a backup copy of config.xml file from C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Application Data\Notepad++\ you can just paste the backup copy in that folder overwriting the corrupted file and it fixes the problem without uninstalling and reinstalling, plus you wont need to reconfigure all the settings again.

        I simply deleted the config.xml. Strating notepad++ creates a new one. No everythings fine again (plus i created a backup of the running config.xml)

      Are you using BlackBox or some other custom window skinning software?

      I got the same problem. At the start of Notepad + a short alert box show me the message "System Err - Der Vorgang wurde erfolgreich beendet" - I have a german Windows XP System with Service Pack II - no skinning software or anything else. Notepad runs before I edit one PHP-File on a WebDav-Folder. After this edition the failure exists.

      I also reinstalled the software but nothing changed.

      Please help me.

      Hi i had the same problem to.

      At my PC the problem is caused through some settings in the config-files.

      N++ uses depending on the setup parameters either the %appdata% directory(by default) or the install directory for them.

      In the former case, removing the notepad++ folder at %appdata% f.e. "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\notepad++" should fix the problem.

      In the latter case, it should be possible to fix the problem with the following steps.
      - uninstall n++
      - restart
      - remove the install directory manually
      - install n++

      But take care, both ways solving the problem cause the loss of settings and so on.

      Hello,
      I have exactly the same problem. Without I would not know how to say when it appeared except that there is not so for a long time as that. The reinstalment of the application changed nothing either.

        I resolved the problem indeed by reappointing the file " C:\Documents and Settings \ [My name] \Application Data\Notepad ++ ". A new directory was so created and there, miracle, Notepad ++ is again functional.

        Thank you for the craftiness

      It seems the bug of updater.

      I can try to fix this bug if you tell me from which version you update to v3.8

      If you still get difficulties use v3.6 of notepad. It is staible.(IMHO)

      Hi there,
      i got the same problem with v3.8.

      I renamed C:\Documents and Settings \ [My name] \Application Data\Notepad++\config.xml (because it was the last file changed) and N++ starts working normaly.

      N++ creates a new config.xml, so i compared it with the old one. There where only 2 differences:

      old file:
      <GUIConfig name="AppPosition" x="209" y="159" width="531" height="343" isMaximized="yes" />
      <History />

      new created:
      <GUIConfig name="AppPosition" x="-28" y="31" width="1033" height="780" isMaximized="no" />
      <History nbMaxFile="15" />

      Maybe it helps you to fix it. If you need the "defect" file, i can mail you.

      Best regards
      Stephan Fischer

      P.S.: Thanks for this great software!

      Ok, it's me again :)

      The Error is reproducable if the "AppPosition"-width is less than 575 in config.xml.

      Best regards
      Stephan

        I can definately confirm it has to do with window size/placement. Just closed N++ after a session with reduced width (needed two windows in parallel) and there it was again.
        Had to reinstall, byebye settings :-(

        Please get this fixed soon.

      thx Stephan, this works

      just a reminder to other people, make sure you edit the right config.xml file, there is one in the install path, and one in application data. Edit them both if you're unsure what file is being used.
