[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1653536, member: 234411"] Relative to my post, please clarify whether the TextEdit icon is present in your Applications folder, and if so, that you were unable to start the app from there - correct? Also, please provide some more information - you are on an old OS X version, so what are the specifics of your computer - also, when did TextEdit stop working, e.g. after an OS download, other software installation, a hardware change - just trying to determine if you can relate this non-function of the app to some change on your computer? If you have more than one user on your computer, you might want to sign out of your account and into another one to see if something in your account settings may be the issue, i.e. does TextEdit work in another user's account? Let us know if any of these suggestions help - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
