I have the exact same problem!
I am running  the Hardware Simulator with OpenJava on Windows 10.
When I load for exmple the Not.hdl file from the \nand2tetris\projects\01 -folder it loads fine but if I open the Not.hdl with notepad and starts to write a just a single character after the line: "//Put your code here:"
and saves it with just the .hdl extension Then trying to load it in the Hardware Simulator it just says "Loading chip..." in the status line and the file Not.hdl never loads.
If I the open the Not.hdl with notepad again and removes whatever I have written after the line: "//Put your code here:" - restoring the file to its original contents and saves it again. Then the Hardware Simulator loads the file fine but without my code. Then it is a bit hard to finish any of the projects.
Please can anybody help!!!
