Doesn't sound like an XyWrite problem. Right click on the Editor.exe
file and check its properties to see if it's looking for something
exotic. It shouldn't be, but just in case....

Worst conming to worst, boot up without getting into Windows (hold
down shift-F8 as you boot and enter command only mode) and see if
the program comes up in pure DOS. You might have a corrupt file.
