signed in here for first time in 10 years just to say THANK YOU! These files and explanation of what went wrong are a lifesaver pmcnano. For what its worth, my problems started after running a drive slim on Drive Genius 3, including the additional languages which may have been culprit as someone else mentioned earlier in thread. In any case, I've only tested the textedit fix but it worked immediately without restart, including reopening my "unsaved" files which was a true lifesaver. Thanks again.
