    Cannot save file


    Why can I not save from Open Office, Thunderbird or Wordperfect but I can from Notepad or Wordpad, in Windows 10 Pro? The application freezes or crashes.

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    CCleaner Professional | Try the world’s most trusted PC cleaner, free!

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
