Paint

[Guest]

I seem to have accidentally deleted paint from my computer. I have tried
going through this process

1. Go to start\settings\control panel (or start\control panel)
2. Add or Remove Programs
3. On the left, click Add/Remove Windows Components
4. Double click Accessories and Utilities
5. Double click Accessories
6. Make sure Paint is checked. If it's not, check it. Click OK.
7. Click OK on the Accessories and Utilities window.
8. Click next and follow the steps.

But when I do I am confronted with a "file not found" message.
Is my paint program gone for good? I do not know if I have a windows backup
disc - is there any other way to retrieve my paint???
thanks
Julia

MSPAINT?

just say Goodby to nominal software.
Download and use Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/

Or MS Paint's replacement
