I have no other modern word processor. I'd use Open Office but I have to
shut the rest of the world down as System Resources drop to about 30%. ;-(

30% SYSTEM resources is never a problem. You need to drop below 10% before
you encounter any resource-related problems.

If the problem is WordPad (it's not clear from your post), uninstall then
re-install it. You can do this via Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup. It
should be listed under Accessories. If WordPerfect is the problem, uninstall
then re-install it instead. Or do both.

If the problem persists, run SFC to check all your system files are up to
date.
