Paint problems

[Chris Basler]

I have windows XP Media edition (4 months). MSPAINT has
stopped opening. I get a message that paint has
encountered a problem and must close. Any ideas?

Hi,
start>run>type regedit >ok, now 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 > reboot the machine and reopen Paint.
