I had the same problem. In the PSPAD\SCRIPT folder I found the readme.rtf, the first is there: Note!
Don’t place any non script files direct into script language subdirectories ! All files e.g. in VBScript subrirectory are consider as script and non script file causes compilation error. I had, deleted them, and it solved my problem. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,57038,57305> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
