My paint program is gone. All I did was defrag and disk clean up. Does this
mean I should do system restore?
 
Look in your %SystemRoot%\System32\mspaint.exe
If its not there you may have deleted it in a disk cleanup i think, i did
that by accident with internet explorer and windows media player but you can
re-install them throught disk cleanup i think.

Audrey... do a system restore to the latest restore point you have, before you did the
disk cleanup.
I don't use disk cleanup, but it may write a restore point before doing its deleting...
which you can restore to.
If that doesn't bring it back, you can easily reinstall Paint, using Control Panel -
Add/Remove Programs... on the left side, "Add/Remove Windows Components."
And the XP CD.

And one suggestion... be careful if you use disk cleanup, or better yet, don't use it ;)
