Paint.net crashes at startup


Recommended Posts

I investigated this at one point and, much to my surprise, this is actually an error that is seen when one has certain spyware on their system. I obviously cannot conclusively say that you have spyware, but I would recommend running some anti-spyware programs such as Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware, and of course the Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta.

If anyone wants a more thorough and technical explanation, I'd be more than happy to provide it.

The problem is that Optool is setting the floating point exception masking and then not restoring its setting. This is possibly a side effect of the compiler or compiler settings being used.
