Paint.NET has been working perfect for me until around last month when began to crash every time I tried to open a picture or save a new one, and I've done everything from uninstalling, reinstalling, uninstalling with IObit Uninstaller that went into the registry as well, reinstalled .NET framework multiple times, deleted all traces of PDN from my computer and reinstalling, and now I'm out of ideas. I've read through tons of posts about this, and nothing so far has worked.
And something I just discovered today, strangely enough, I'm able to click off the popup window and work on my picture, but can only use the tools and save, effects do not work.
This is the error message I receive every time: http://gyazo.com/e992f0e3754a06d5793a5900746804e9
Exception details:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+.
