Since I have installed Windows XP Home edition I have no
Page Range (Selections, Pages, Current Page and Collate
are all grayed out). Has anyone run into this and what did
you do to correct it?
 
Hi Richard,

No reason you shouldn't have them. Try this:

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.

I gave this a try and Still no go. I made sure that Paint
was deleted and also rebooted. I have since restored it.

Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks
 
Thank you

I tried this and it was no different. I have done a
restoration. Is there anything else I can try?
 
Hi,

Uninstall paint (control panel/add & remove/windows components), reboot,
delete that key, then reverse the steps to reinstall it.

Further to this - I had a long talk with a Microsoft
technician and apparently there is no cure for this.
