Maybe the following info will shed some light:

Before editing your registry...I suggest
that you carefully read the following article:

Information About Editing the Registry

"MS Paint has encountered an error and needs to close"

Answer from David Shiflet:

This is a bug that will be fixed in SP2.

What has happened is that some registry
keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint
have somehow gotten out of sync.

If you open regedit to that key, you'll see various
keys named "General-Bar0", "General-Bar1",
etc. In the "General-Summary" key, you'll see
a value called "Bars". You can fix/work around
this bug by setting the Bars value to the number
of "General-Bar#" keys you have. For example,
my machine has 5 keys, numbered General-Bar0
through General-Bar4, so my Bars value in
General-Summary is 5.
