Suddenly I can't save anything in Notepad, Wordpad or Paint, using Windows Vista. Help, please!

Hello.

I can't 'Save' or ' save under ', using Notepad, Wordpad or Paint. It is a recent development that occur all the same day.

A summary of each error message indicates that there is a problem with the particular program that requires Windows to close until a

solution is found.  It is followed by a pop-up stating that DEP closed every program to protect my computer.  As a last resort, I then tried

to 'Save' in Ms Works / Word Processor and that too suddenly had to close with a similar message (less the DEP pop up).

It is obviously a case with very strange place. I scanned my system with Malwarebytes Pro and Norton Anti virus software and nothing was detected.

I would be very happy to help in the restoration of the normal features to these programs to anyone who is familiar with this type of problem.

I am running Windows Vista Premium / / SP2

Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can download, install, and configure Windows Live Mail again or use Windows Mail, which is the default email program in Vista.

    How to set up Windows Mail.

    Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider); They provide your broadband / dial connection.

    Ask them to:

    1. your username with them

    2. your password with them.

    3 incoming mail POP3 server.

    4. the outgoing mail SMTP server

    All the settings that you need to come from them, not Microsoft; and they are usually happy to help you set up your e-mail program.
