see http://www.msgplus.net/help_registry.php and the LogViewerProgram registry setting. If you're not familiar with the registry, you can also use Choli's Plus! Tweaker which you can find on that same page.

PS: If you set it to another text editor/viewer, make sure that the text editor/viewer supports unicode textfiles for total compatibility. Otherwise you end it up seeing the same as what happened here.


1) But before attempting this, try what I suggested in my previous post.
2) If that didn't work then do it again, but this time, when the (empty) notepad is opened and before you close the message box with that error, navigate to your temporary windows directory and look if there is a file with a name like "blah@blah.com {decrypted}.txt". If so open it yourself by double clicking on it.

This should not happen! Plus! always uses the associated program for opening textfiles. So either you didn't associated textfiles (extension TXT) properly to notepad, iether there is something seriously wrong within the registry, or either there is another program running in the background preventing all sorts of stuff from running properly.
