I guess since this topic has been started, I'll add in my troubles that happened when I chose to update Paint.NET from within itself. It did its thing and installed the new beta, but every time I open it up, I get an error message that says it has crashed. I've been searching for solutions to this via these forums and saw something about custom plugins could be one. Deleted the ones I really don't use that much (or rather just all of them) and the error still remains. I saw another possible solution where you had to repair .NET Framework itself, so I tried that, but when I opened paint.NET, it crashed yet again. I'm at the point where I'll just install the version before this beta. Here's the code that the crash error wants me to post:
