I know it isn't the best program in the world, but I need it for certain
things. Every time I click on it, it starts loading then shows that box
that says send error report to Microsoft because it closed
unexpectantly. Any way to fix this?
 
This is an old Win9x response but won't hurt to try:

Have a look here:
Err Msg: MSPAINT Caused an Invalid Page Fault... [Q185501]
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=185501
I have found that 95% of problems with MSPaint are fixed by this
reference:

To resolve this problem, use registry editor to delete the following
registry key:

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

This registry key is rebuilt the next time you start Paint.
