I've been using Notepad++ a lot recently and noticing that it randomly freezes up. It will be working fine, no obvious reason why it suddenly freezes - but won't respond and I have to use Task Manager to kill it and reopen. It never comes back.
I don't get any error messages and no other programs on my computer at the time have any trouble.
Anybody else having this issue or have any idea what might be causing it?

A few questions:
Are you using it on your local hard drive, portable hard drive, USB drive, or some other storage medium(please list)?
If the storage medium is something you have to plugin via USB are the ports USB 1.x or 2.x?
Sometimes if your PortableApps run slowly/frequently freeze it could be either because you have a slow USB port (ie USB 1.x) or the actual read/write times of the USB drive are slow.
Thanks,

I am having save problem.
I use it on my computers hard drive and edit files that are in network folder
Me too. I recently upgraded from 5.0.3 (!), which was never a problem, but I'm now getting the occasional random crash with 5.4.5. Thinking of going back
:-(USB 2, external hard drive.
I'm using USB2 pen drive Notepad++ v5.4.5
It never used to happen until a couple of months ago
and I can't remember whether I upgraded about that time
I think I worked my way back three of four versions from 5.4.5 and they all crashed sooner or later but since 5.5.1 came out I haven't had any problems. Give it a try.
