For a long time i havnt been able to use my paing. when i click on it, there is an error notice that says "Paint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." when you ask for more info, it says "AppName: mspaint.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.0 ModName: mfc42u.dl
ModVer: 6.0.8665.0 Offset: 00017103

when you ask for technican information it says "C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERAF.tmp.dir00\appcompat.txt" will be included in the report

i have uninstalled and reinstalled this program but i, for the life of me, cant figure out how to get my paint back... help please.
