Aside from Paint lagging, the rest of my computer is kinda slow lately, and there are a bunch of SVCHOST.exe's that seem to be running when i look at the task manager. I killed the one that was taking up the most memory usage and the computer was slightly better... in Paint, I could actually use the Pencil tool without lagging, but the scrolling and paintbucket was laggy still.
I recently purchased a new computer that came free with it's own Photo Shop program, so every time I try to edit a picture in My Pictures folder it opens THAT program instead of PAINT, which is what I want to edit the pictures in. Anyone got any clues how to set it right?
I found that paint program is not visible in start>Programs>accessories. Then I checked in control panel, in windows components , in accessories the paint is selected but it is not visible in program list. What is the
I have installed/reinstalled MS Paint several times and restarted my computer. It is there but I cannot paste or copy. I had registry mechanic on my computer and since then it has not worked.
My Microsoft Paint utility has vanished. I am running XP Home on a Dell Inspiron 6000. Yet have tried Google, I have also tried doing a windows search.
i was recently going through the Windows XP services shutting down various components that are not necessarily needed that take up RAM. Personally, I have plenty of RAM and didn't really have a problem with it, but wanted to see what would change so I could tweak my girlfriends computer which is running sluggish, even after doubling her RAM to over a gig. (Getting more HD soon...) Everything is fine, however,
I realized that my calculator/ MS Paint/ and all the games under 'Accessories' are missing. I can't seem to figure out what component of Windows is linked with those particular programs. /WinXP%20Services.htm
I key ctrl/alt/and prtscn to cache screen shots. I can no longer save to Paint. The pencil icon is on first instead of the select. It will not show the paste button on the drop down menu only the select all.
I can use paint using my scanner but not screen shots which I use all the time.
Every time I try to run MSPaint in my XP home system, it get crashed with a msg saying "Paint has encountered a problem and needs to close." the error report it wants to send to microsoft is a large file, i dont know which one is the specific error code.
Ive looked everywhere and i still cant find the paint program. Ive looked in accesories, program files and even searched with searching wizard. can someone tell me where else to look.
Ever since this morning my computer has been lagging on and off. It was working perfectly fine last night when I shut it down. I have tried everything I can think of I ran a system defrag, error check and virus/spyware scanners. It showed that I had no viruses and only a few tracking cookies on my computer.
One again another virus, This time, I am having terrible program hanging and LAG!This really sucks. The other night, while on the internet, came left my computer alone, only, to come back to a 'hacker' using my cursor and accesing my programs, which gave me a hell-of-a-fright.I have updated all my anti-virus programs, and I have scanned and ELIMINATED all the visible buggers, yet I still have BAD lag.
About every 5 seconds the computer lags i looked into it a little bit and noticed about every 5 seconds my computer usage goes from 0 to 51 then back down.
I somehow removed some of the Accessories programs like games and Paint. I need the paint program. But when I tried to reinstall it in the Control Panel, it told me I need the Window XP CD-ROM which I dont have right now.
When using Paint and I go to save an image I get the attached message. It's not an error, but the normal text is replace by squares. I've tried to uninstall paint then reinstall it through add/remove but it did not change anything. My scans show no viruses or spyware either.
How to figure out why the Windows Accessories Programs "Calculator," "Paint," and "Wordpad" appear to have been disabled in my PC (XP Professional)? I tried to find where the "Calculator" program may be lodged in the hard drive, for example, so as to bring back the application from wherever it is apparently hiding. I typed "C:WINDOWS/system32/calc.exe" into the "Run" command. The message box that opened read like this: "Windows cannot find C:WINDOWS/system32/calc.exe." The message box then suggests to "....click the Start button, and then click Search." "Search" could not find the file. But it was accessible before from the Start-> Menu->All Programs->Accessories.
Some how and some way MS paint and all accessories were removed from my PC. When I try to reinstall I need to use OEM SP2 CD... I don't have it and never have.. I HAD a Recovery DVD (Lost It), had a recovery partition (Removed It.. Don't ask..) Now what can I do with out paying some ridiculous fee. BTW this is an HP a330n
