About a year ago I had a freeware program called Handy Notes. It was great. I could easily access it and could any notes or numbers in order and pull them up very quickly. I had to switch computers and now I can find Handy Notes but I can't seem to get it installed. It there a program out there very similar to it. It was great for phone numbers, SSN's, web site user name and passwords, etc.. I really need a program like this. Any suggestions?

Thanks!Perhaps you should find out why you can't install handy notes.
Why can't you install it? Where do you get it? I'll give it a try for you.Fed, if you want to try it, use this link.... I think it's the right one... http://www.download.com/HandyNotes/3000-2351_4-10123197.html?tag=lst-0-2 ... Flashygram, where did you download your current copy?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I originally got handy notes from HandyNotes.com. I just tried your link. It downloads ok but I can't run it. I always get this same message. Big red circle with black X in middle and it says, "There was a problem loading your notes. The notes file (HandyNotes.xml) might be corrupted. Please refer to he README.TXT file.
Error: Illegal XML character: .
I referred to the section about download problems and tried again but still no luck. I don't understand this. It's too technical for me. I do have automatic updates and as far as I know I have service pk.2 also. Now what?
Thanks! I'd do just about anything to get this program back up & running!Worked for me. Was it uninstalled properly? What else happened when this quit working?I assume it was originally uninstalled properly since it was done by a computer tech that was highly recommended. A little BACKGROUND, my hubby passed away and I returned my son's to him and took over my hubby's PC. he computer tech was supposed to restore hubby's to original or wipe it clean but I don't think the tech actually removed any programs. He then put on the programs that I wanted on there. He made a CD with handy notes & incredimail so he could put it on my hubby's PC which I was now going to use. Neither worked. I had to download IncrediMail again and I have not been able to download handy notes since. The tech told me that my hubby didn't have the disc to wipe everything clean so he had to do it manually. There are some things that still come up under rons documents but they are things I use. Am I totally messed up? I have to leave for about 2 HOURS or so but will be back soon & anxiously await any suggestions you have. Thanks a bunch! So it sounds like there were other problems as well. I wish you had a knowledgable person nearby who could a) Restore things to a working state, and b) save all necessary data, if any when doing that.

There are obviously things wrong with Windows in that system that a good reformat and reinstall could fix.

Well the tech was supposed to be the best in his testing and he didn't even go to school. Apparently my hubby accidently got rid of the disc that was needed to wipe out all his info. and I don't know if any other copies could be obtained. I can't fault the tech. for that. So I guess this means I'm just out of luck for handy notes. I'm not sure what the little spam thingy means that says triple posters will be sent to the sin BIN but if I have asked for too much help, I'm really sorry. Thanks for what you were able to help me with.flashygram.........
