paint and system restore

[Gram C]

I keep getting an error and an error reporting when I try
to open paint and try to open a jpeg file. Does anyone
know how to fix it? I have sent error reports but don't
know if they do anything.
I also cannot do a system restore.

Hi Gram,

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.
