That sounds backwards... I occasionally have to open log files of 1 gig or more, and notepad++ gets sluggish, but is usable, while notepad just hangs until I kill it...

Someone suggested that we might have the 32-bit version, and that that might be the problem. I have no way of checking for a few months though, since I'm on parental leave until January. Because our NP++ just says that the files are too big to be opened. Sidenote: Sometimes it can open files that are a bit bigger, and sometimes only a bit smaller... So it's not a hard limit that is the same at all times.
