Thank you, Rick. HP finally decided I got a defective OS install and sent me a new one....after 4 techs and dumb solutions to what weren't my problems?!? I should have just built my own like I always do. Oh Well...I have paint.net and I am happy.

Sorry. I mis-typed, I meant 3.5 and 3.36 are listed as completely compatible for 64 bit.

I went to the Windows 7 compatibility page and discovered that for 64 bit, the 3.6 version is totally ok. I installed it and have had zero problems. Oh BTW: HP was less than zero help.

anyone else have trouble installing on a Windows 7 home premium computer? It installed fine, but now won't open or uninstall.

I gotta second the "wouldn't your comment help others" thing. In the beginning, I would pm people and whether or not they answered me directly, they always encouraged me to post my query in the thread also (some more politely than others). I have since seen first hand where this works. Sometimes its just an oh yeah, thanks I had the same problem -- but sometimes it leads to further discussion which pushes the update to the plugin. Just sayin.

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!

As I've already stated earlier, I have the same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Gave permission to all. Installed one plugin (like pyro's) at a time. Still no other effects anywhere.

OK, I did that and still no change. Should I re-install paint.net and start over?

Yes--I even went back, cleared out what I did and unzipped again using 7-zip instead of windows built in extractor. I am at a total loss with this one.

I had to re-install everything after a destructive restore. Downloaded the latest paint.net and then started downloading the plugins I like to use (pyro's, boltbait's, etc.). I extracted the .dll and then placed it in the effects folder. I clicked on the properties and unblocked each one and applied. Then I opened my paint.net and nada--not anything new under any menu. So I went here: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/install Confirmed I did install correct. So any ideas? Thanks.

XP Home SP3.

Thanks Pyro!! Now I just have to play with it.

I got the plug in from your deviantart site, but when I tried it I got this error message. (using paintnet 3.22) Any ideas? Thanks!

Yes Pyro--VA has a point.......not cool!! Not everyone knows or gets your humor AND not everyone in this forum speaks English as their first language. Just saying.
