I've replaced my

riched32.dll       3,584 03/23/2001 05:00   5.1.2600.0 (xpclient.010817-1148)

with

riched32.dll     174,352 05/06/1998 07:36   4.00.993.4

and it works now. Before this I've replaced RichTx32.ocx too, with the older version, but that didn't help.

(Yes, XP has complained about the version. Hopefully it won't try to replace the file after the restart.)

(Can I give myself some stars?) ;)
