I noticed with Windows 7 problems with preinstalled Windows. Maybe the problem remains in Windows 8 too. There were problem for non english environment. Try in control panels / regional settings on the last tab switch environment for nonunicode programs to English, confirm and than switch back to your language.
Can you send me any of your file to support mail? -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,63676,63679> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
