Wow! Thanks so much for this info. I think I had this issue way back when I first tired to load, but things are good so far, so guess all is well with me. I sent the link to my daughter and friend when I found your site. Not sure if they have tired to download anything. I will send the link you have provided in hopes they haven't had issues.. I can't remember when it was I loaded your site, but it was confusing at the time.
Now, if I may ask... Are there ever 'updates' to Paint.net, and if so, should I follow the links you have here, or are updates automatic?
Thanks again for the information.
