[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 952219, member: 56231"] Okay, there appears to be some file or volume (HD) damage that may well be repairable. It appears that some sectors involving TextEdit's core functions, eg. Save and Save As, may be affected. Boot from CD - this can be done with either the grey 'restore' disks that came with the machine, or a retail version (usually black-colored) of the OS you're using. Repairs are nearly always better done from a boot disk, in fact Disk Utilities cannot effect repairs to a startup volume (HD). Re the failed link - I see I put a semicolon after the link, that's the cause. Either paste that link into a browser with the s-c removed, or use Google and type Onyx Mac in the search field.
