If you download NoteMaster, install it and then disappointingly find that it doesn't even run, you're probably lacking the comdlg32.ocx file in your System directory. NoteMaster is dependent on this library; if it is missing, NoteMaster will silently fail to load.

This is, of course, an issue with the installer, and the next installer (which I plan to make available for download alongside with NoteMaster 1.3.2 next week) will address it. As for now, if you know a bit about Windows, you could add the file yourself (but please only if you do know something about Windows).

If you want to do so, download the OCX you find on the first Google result for "comdlg32.ocx". You should save it in your System directory (on XP this is probably C:\Windows\System32). Then right-click the file and choose to specify a program to open OCX files with. Browse to your System directory and choose the regsvr32 program. Finally, just double click the file and Windows will register it for you.

That's it! NoteMaster should properly run now. Of course, this is a bit complicated for average users (although NoteMaster is a code editor). As I said, I'll fix it next week.
