Heylo,
My MS paint has decided to no longer work, upon starting
it, it claims that is has incountered a problem and is
mearly sorry for the inconvenince. I do not really feel
like reformating my machine over paint but -_- I am a
little annal about these things.

I have alrdy uninstalled and reinstalled the acceseries;
with no success of course.

Im running XPpro SP1 on a 3200+ xp with 512 dual channel
ram, so i dont think its a ram issue.....

the error sinature is:
AppName: mspaint.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.1106 ModName:
mfc42u.dll
ModVer: 6.0.8665.0 Offset: 00017103

If this is a relatively recent issue, you might try using System Restore to
take you back to a time when this worked properly. If that doesn't resolve
it, try the information below.

The following assumes you have an actual XP CD as opposed to a restore CD or
restore partition supplied by your PC manufacturer.

Go to Start, type sfc /scannow in the run box and press enter. Note, there
is a space between sfc and the forward slash. You will be asked for your XP
CD. Be aware, upon inserting the CD the XP setup screen may appear, this is
not a part of sfc /scannow, rather it is being invoked by autorun. Simply
minimize the screen and allow sfc to continue.

If the above fails to resolve the issue, try a repair install as follows:



Be sure you are well backed up in case there is a problem from which you are
unable to recover. NOTE, while a repair install should leave your data
files intact, if something goes wrong during the repair install, you may be
forced to start over and do a clean install of XP. If you don't have your
data backed up, you would lose your data should that eventuality occur.



Boot from the CD. If your system is set to be able to boot from the CD, it
should detect the disk and give a brief message, during the boot up, if you
wish to boot from the CD press any key.



Once you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference
asking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you
wish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let
setup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.



Then it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen
with the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation
using the Recovery console.



The first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to
press enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup
will then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your
version, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or
install fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there
on, follow the screens.

thks for the advice, unfortunitly the checking the DLL's
did not work, and i do not run system restore. I know
know how to do the repair but i'd reformate to keep from
the mess. But, more importantly some details i left out
eirlier, most likely because it was 3 in the morning, are
that it happened after i tried to force the program shut
with task manager because it frooze while i was printing
to a network printer, task manager would not close the
program so i rebooted, and then waalaa paint was broken.
The other "neat" thing i discovered is that i can right
click on the paint exe and choose "run as" then select
myself as the user and it will run fine. most people
would be like "ok so whats the problem?" and of course,
it's not right :p
thanks again

I copied this from a previous posting of Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS_MVP -

Hope it helps

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.

Heylo,
My MS paint has decided to no longer work, upon starting
it, it claims that is has incountered a problem and is
mearly sorry for the inconvenince. I do not really feel
like reformating my machine over paint but -_- I am a
little annal about these things.

I have alrdy uninstalled and reinstalled the acceseries;
with no success of course.

Im running XPpro SP1 on a 3200+ xp with 512 dual channel
ram, so i dont think its a ram issue.....

the error sinature is:
AppName: mspaint.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.1106 ModName:
mfc42u.dll
ModVer: 6.0.8665.0 Offset: 00017103

thks again for the advice,
I too had seen that post and tried it eairlier, and then
again jsut for fun and that little crack of hope, but
WinXP will not let you delete the registry key, not even
in safe mode. :(, I could try and delete it in one of
htose 3rd party programs but if i gonna make a mess on my
comp I'll probly end up reformating :(.

thks again

I am currently haveing the same prob.I had some important work to do so at bare minimum i had to find a work around.
This is a good Temp fix In windows Xp create another user account via control panel/users Be sure to give this new name a admin rating . After doing this leave your current name logged on and switch over to the new user account you just created.Go to paint and try to start as normal.This gave me full access to all the files i needed unlike the previous method you tried that wouldnt . I have tried the REGEDIT method, Reintalling the program and unfortunatly all my restore points got deleted before i knew there was a problem so if anyone comes up with a perminent fix for this please let me know .

(e-mail address removed) Put Ms paint in the title
