although involves Paintshop Pro it explains why this file can be corrupted
or overwritten. You may be able to fix your problem by running System File
Checker by typing
SFC /Scannow
into the Run box on your Start menu.

I have a problem I can not open up Mspaint. I get this message"Mspaint has
caused an error in MFC42.DLL, Mspaint will now close. If you continue to
experience problem try restarting your computer". I have restarted my
computer every time and still I receive the same message. Is there any
magica formula to enter to get Mspaint appear. Will appreciate response to
this problem. Thanks
