Microsoft Paint

[Guest]

Microsoft Paint will not start up on my CPU. It comes on, shows a white
screen, then say something is wrong and it needs to close. Is there a way I
can transfer Microsoft Paint from another computer to replace it?

You might open a command line and type SFC /SCANNOW

That should find and repair damaged files, such as Paint, and any .dll
needed for it to run.

Try this procedure, from MVP Rick Rogers:

<quote>
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.

To reinstall Microsoft Paint, use these steps:

Insert your XP CD, and run this command from Start, Run dialog:

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\accessor.inf, PAINT

( Change the Path to Windows if installed in a different drive than C: )
