This solved the problem! Thanks for your very prompt reply. Dude, you are part of why I love this program so much.

The beta worked just fine, but when I try to open the latest version, I get this. Sorry, but paint.net has encountered an unhandled exception and must close. Then there's a crash log, which I'll post below. I tried completely uninstalling it, restarting my computer, cleaning my registry and installing again a few times, but it just won't work. From what I read, other users are also having problems. I don't get how the beta can work better that the final program.... Here's the log, which I'm also emailing as instructed: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This text file was created because paint.net crashed.
