    both my PCs recently stopped opening these programs. one PC is online, the other is offline with no recent windows updates installed. the only thing i've done in the meantime is install software from the sister site.

    any ideas? i've uninstalled and reinstalled both programs with cmd admin permissions. still the error

    windows 10
    windows 11 offline

    error: Unable to create new document

    ok, i restarted and still had the problem. then i admin'd the command to uninstall and then reinstall, restarted, and it worked.

    sorry if this is a waste of space, but i'm also kind of curious if this was a relatively benign result of software some us installed.

    You don't have to apologize for wasting space here!
    The software you install from the sister site never actually breaks anything. Most of it is user error or faulty drivers.

    Repair Windows with sfc /scannow


    In some cases, Windows system files are damaged or not installed correctly. This is why errors occur when calling up such components. In such cases, a targeted repair of Windows can help. To repair Windows, please proceed as follows:

    Open a command prompt: Press the Windows key on the keyboard, then immediately type in “cmd.exe”. A list of results will now appear, showing “Command Prompt” or “cmd.exe” – depending on the version of Windows. Right-click on this result and select “Run as administrator” from the context menu.

    (Note: You can copy the following command line to the clipboard. By right-clicking and then clicking “Paste”, you can then paste it into the console and do not need to type it.)

    You are now in a DOS window. Enter the command here
    sfc /scannow
