Hi,
was wondering if anyone has had any problems with MS paint on Windows XP.
As soon as i click on the icon to open it i get a "Microsoft Paint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" error message. The program does not even show a hint of opening, just goes straight to the error message.
Error signature:
AppName: Mspaint.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.1106 ModName: mfc42u.dll
ModVer: 6.0.8665.0 Offset: 00017103

I have browsed the forums and seen most replies equivalent to uninstalling MSpaint in the Windows Components section and then reinstalling. I have even tried deleting the entire accessories folder. One strange thing though is upon reinstallation the computer does not ask for me to put in the windows software CD, so it sounds like it is hoarding the corrupted program somewhere and just calling it back up when i ask for it again. I can post the technical info about the error report if someone has that much tape holding their glasses together and can decifer two thousand zeros.

Thanks in advance, hey someone on another board was talking about sending someone a "screenshot" of their problem, how do you do this?

Thanks again,
Mike
