Hi,

This fix usually works:

Close any/all instances of MSPaint. Then start/run regedit, navigate to this
key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Applets\Paint

Hightlight (click on it) that key and delete it. Close the registry editor
and reopen Paint.

Have you tried using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? Use Windows
Explorer, navigate to the specific picture/file, doubleclick it and the
viewer will open. On the bottom toolbar you have the option to print
the picture. See if that works. Paint is not a very good app to use for
printing. Do you not have another graphics app to use? if you have a
printer, one should have come with it on the installation disk.

Hi,

Before using paint, hit ctrl+shift+escape and kill the dwwin.exe task.
