I open my ATOT PM's (saved as a .txt file) using Notepad then search by keywords or AT username.

you have to save as a textfile. Did they change it?

What is the file name (including extension)

What OS are you using?

Try renaming the file to ATOTPMS.txt

Try renaming the file to ATOTPMS.txt

It saved automatically as: pmexport.txt

I'm using windows 2000.

I hate Google toolbar.

I guess not now:p. Seriously, I've used it since about 01' and thought it was great. I also use a complete .hosts file to block all shockwave ads.

BLASPHEMY!!

My ass.

I have turned off Google bars pop up blocker because it sucks.

THREAD HIJACK! (not really, he got his problem figured out)

Google toolbar has been the best, most unobtrusive popup blocker I've used yet. It's about the fourth one I've tried. What problems do you have with it??

Blocking the wrong pop ups, I have tried the "allow pop up" but I dunno I just get easily irritated.

Now I feel like a hug, any takers?
