I have Windows XP Pro, and everytime that I try to open
Microsoft Paint, I get an error message that says the
program has encountered and error and needs to shut down.
It has done this as long as I can remember, and when I
send the error report to microsoft, it doesn't give me
any suggestions or solutions.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Frank
 
Hi Frank,

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.
