Sounds like maybe a corrupt DLL related to notepad. Have you tried running the system file checker? If not, you can do so by going to start, programs, accessories, system tools and running system information - you can run the file checker from there...

Windows has limited space for all cacheing, paste a word into the note pad and then clear it before using it, also clear out the C:\Windows \Temp file , as this gets hitch-hikers that won't leave, it's advisable to make a short cut to Clip Board , and to Temp in onder to keep them cleared out until the problem is resolved if this is not the culprit, it will give you some breathing room to find the problem.
