Interference from 64-bit Notepad++


We have encountered one instance of interference between 64-bit Notepad++ and some eXtyles functions that require internet access.


If you are unable to download the journal database files, please check whether you have 64-bit Notepad++ installed. Switching to 32-bit Notepad++ should resolve the problem.
