mspaint

All of a sudden mspaint won't work. When I click on it,
I get "Paint has encounted a problem and needs to close".
Worked fine before.

Hi Kathy,

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.

Hi Kathy,

For many of your tasks in Paint, you can try using Irfanview.
Didn't say change.
