Whats wrong with my MS Paint?

[Do_Not_Fear_cause_I'm_here]

As soon as I was gonna turn off my computer, it said, ''Paint is damaged. Re-installing it make fix this problem.'' Can some tell me on how to re-install it?

First, this is on the wrong section

Second, Reinstall your Windows.

If you give advice, then give something useful.

Reinstall your windows is NOT really useful advice, Jake.

Nothing personal, it's just rather stupid to tell someone to reinstall their FULL OS. Usually that's just the last resource.

And can you give a screenshot of the message. I'm sure it didn't say the exact same that you've quoted.

I'm sure there was a way to repair anything broken with Windows, go search up how to "repair windows" on Google and you may get a solution.

Moved to appropriate Section.

Next time make sure to post your New Topics in the right section.

Ok try this......you will need your windows CD handy.

1. go to Start > Settings > Control Panel

2. Click on Add or Remove Programs

3. On the left hand side click on Add / Remove Windows Components

4. Double click Accessories and Utilities

5. Double click Accessories

6. now scroll to the very bottom and find Paint

un-check the box and follow the directions

7. Now restart your computer

to re-install just follow the directions again and this time put a check IN the box.

Lol, so if I got a BSOD and got an error message about it, I should reinstall Windows?

Makes perfect sense.

Also, if you got the message before you shut off your PC, it's possibly a virus. Go to start, run, and type mspaint and if paint works, you should do a virus scan.
