I followed the suggested fix and get no massage anymore as I open the program, but the commands aren’t highlighted (C language)

I found an alternative: use the portable version of Notepad++ installed on a USB and wait for an update!

Thanks Peter

Same problem and fix for me worked as suggested

close Notepad++
delete langs.xml
restart Notepad++

Notepad++ will refer to langs.model.xml and recreate a new langs.xml for itself.

If you have Arman’s problem as above, and you don’t want to do a reinstall, you could download the zip version of Notepad++, extract langs.model.xml to the install folder, then follow the fix.

I’ve got the same issue on Windows 7, but there is NO “langs.model.xml” at that folder! I just deleted the langs.xml, but it didn’t work!

BTW, this problem exists in WinXP as well. The file on this system is 75,792 bytes large and has nothing but nul characters. The fix worked, Thanks! You could also erase/delete langs.xml and it will be regenerated.
