I have the same issue. I've used Paint.net for quite some time until a few months back it began crashing (I think upon pasting from clipboard).
Now after several uninstalls, the application can't even open.
Noting the line
System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
My machine generally runs fine. On a subsequent install, I made sure I deleted the \Program Files\Paint.net folder from a previous install and installed to an alternate directory during setup.
PLEASE HELP!
