Using a little utility called ATNotes, similar to Post-it notes. Was
working fine for a while, now I get message "an invalid argument was
encountered" every time I click on it. Everything works normally if I
simply click away the message. Any way to determine what's causing
this? Tried reinstalling the program, no change. Checked the help
files, nothing. Thanks!

Just guessing here, but what happens if you go into the "program
files\atnotes" folder and click on the exe file? If that works, maybe your
shortcut is messed up.

Sorry, my original post was a bit fuzzy. The program starts up ok,
then resides in the taskbar. When I click on the taskbar icon, I get
the "invalid argument" message.

A shortcut can furnish arguments to the program. Perhaps the shortcut is
wrong for some reason.
