i really need help fast im trying to develop a game and this is the only way i can make sprites atm!

EDIT:

Ruled out so far:

Reducing Plugins (Didnt Work)

Closing Programs (Didnt Work)

Uninstalling McAffee (Didnt Work)

Running Pdnfix (Didnt Work)

THE FIX WAS:

Closing ZoneAlarm

Closing Alienware FX

Maybe Closing Logitech Webcam Software

Hi TruePaintNetFan - nice username! :mrgreen:

 

It would help us if you give us a look at your system specs. Go to Settings :Settings: > Diagnostics > Copy to Clipboard and post the copied text here.

Everything in your knowledge, that is running as a visible program with a window and a taskbar icon or everything that is listed in task manager?

To rules out some possibilities, there are two very easy things you can do:

1) Disable all plugins. No need to delete anything. Simply rename the Effects folder, so paint.net can't find the plugins.

2) Run paint.net while in Windows Safe Mode.  That will ensure no third-party programs are interfering.

(September 25th, 2023)  Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

Glad it works again :D

 

I totally understand the stress -- I've had games or electronics that would occasionally suffer a reoccurring "twitch" or glitch of some kind that was impossible to figure out. It just adds anxiety to an otherwise enjoyable experience. It's a little like living next door to a dog that likes to randomly bark really loud.
