Ok, at this point an antivirus would be good just in case.First go to your computer.if you got it on the correct format, You will see a Machine icon on the very top left of your list. one collum to the side you will see a name that changes with computer being used, for example, since i use an acer laptop, the name would be ACER (C:), and a row down it would be ACERDATA(D:), now look at free space further to the right, you need to have at least a few GBs, more than 3 is good, if you have ANY NUMBER without GB, You have verry little room, and the room that MsPaint projects take overcrowds the file. if this is notthe case then run your Anti-virus and hope it's not paintAIDS XD

About your problem why you can't open it: Maybe it's cause you dont have enough memory to make your computer run properly. Try chacking how much you have by clicking on My Computer then right-click on the application to check.

Wow... a bunch of people are giving somewhat weird solutions... O_o

Somehow Paint may have gotten corrupted. You can try this: Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components. When it loads, uncheck Accessories and Utilities and then click Next and wait until everything's done uninstalling. Then redo the steps again, except this time check Accessories and Utilities and then let it finish the process. Hope this helps ;)


W00t! I'm back!

Thanks, it sounds like it'll work and I know exactly how to do that... On XP. I'm now running Vista, can you or someone explain how to do that in Vista please?

I've described the equivalent method below, but Accessories is no longer a basic Windows feature that cannot be restored by that method.

For the purposes of whether you want to turn any other features on and off, you would go to Control Panel Home, under "Programs", hit "Uninstall a program". On the Tasks panel, there's a UAC-protected function called "Turn Windows features on or off".

But, Accessories isn't a feature that can be turned off.
Yeah, I got to the Turn on and off Windows thing before you said and I couldn't find accsessories. Thanks though. ¦¬D

Okay, I'm reviving this old topic. I'm running the new Windows 7 Release Candidate. It comes with a snazzy new MS Paint, but it lacks the hot key commands I came to rely on in NT Paint. Vista paint was very cool. I'm getting the "Unable To Create Blank Document" error when I try to run Vista Paint in Win 7, even with its support files. Anyone feel like tackling that? :) So far Win 7 is cool. I'd like to migrate the programs I love to it before I abandon Vista some time next year. I have a dual install on my laptop of Vista and Win 7.

Thanks for any help!
