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.

How can I check with Microsoft online to see if a copy of Windows XP Professional has been previously used and registered? I have the CD, the original box complete with the PRODUCT KEY.Explanation:I bought what was supposed to be a NEW and UNUSED copy of Windows XP Professional on Amazon.com through a 3rd party seller.When I got the software the box looked like it was indeed new and still sealed.However, when I opened it, it had some writing on the CD that leads me to beleive it has been previously used.I would like to check online to see if this copy has been previously REGISTERED with MS.

I have a ton of Updates, Sec. Updates, and hot fixes installed on WinXP. Is it ok for me to uninstall all but the most recent udates and hotfixes out of the previously listed categories without problems?
Saw this asked earlier, but apparently unresolved, so I'll ask it again.Dell laptop, Win XP Home, 1.7 GHz CPU,384MB RAM.Running slowly, clogged with junk-ware.Used F.A.S.T. wizard to create a backup on an external drive.Reformatted Hard Disk and re-loaded WINXP Home from the Dell installation CD.Reloaded driver disk, too.FAST will not recognize the data files created previously: says the directory contains no data.Files are there;I transferred them to C: and tried FAST again, with same result.
Running XP Pro with 1 DVD ROM and 1 CDR drive. Whenever I remove media from a drive and replace with a new disc, windows only displays the old data and doesn't recognize the new disc. Especially frustrating during a multi disc install. Sometimes it will refresh if I eject the disc through a menu vs. drive button. Other times this doesn't work. This happens with both drives, so it doesn't seem to be hardware issue.
I recently purchased the Microsoft Fingerprint reader to run on my Windows XP MCE system It works fine for the most part, but I can seem to change any settings for a previously configured logon page When I reach a logon page which I have set up to use the fingerprint reader, an icon appears in the title bar next to the minimze/restore buttons. The flyover help says I can click on the icon to edit the signon information for this page. However, when I click this icon, all I get is a dialog with the hightlighted fingers just telling me to use one to signon.Am I missing something? How do you edit signon information for a previously configured page? I installed the software and reader on my laptop (XP Pro)
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 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.
