Please post your comments in the correct section of the form. I think this thread is pretty much done.

See, Dan, you should post a tutorial on how you made your sig bar...

STOP spamming the forum like that.

Never. Paint.NET is not an animation program.

Hm... running Repair on the .NET 2.0 installation. I wonder if that will help anyone else.

Ok, that's good to know. It was just the only thing in the list that looked likely to be installing global hooks.

Zagna, ok I have updated the download links in the other forum topic. What tools did you use for diffing? They could be handy for other translators to help them update their language packs.

Hmm I don't remember the level where he wears a cape

No, sorry. If the solutions listed above don't work, then we don't know what's causing your problem, nor how to fix it.

Zagna, the formatting on that help file doesn't work ... (as in, it's totally broken!)

Only our alpha, beta, and release candidate builds expire, and they say "Expires on: [date]" in the title bar.

The goals of the WSU Foundation do not include sending me money to buy a Wacom Tablet

No, we will not add a File->Close menu item when we move to MDI. We are also removing File->Exit because this functionality is duplicated by just rebooting the system (and if you can't tell, I'm joking )

Try dragging the file ("drag and drop")

Press Ctrl+V

It's hard to say since it isn't giving us any useful information :? Normally when there's a crash in our code (as opposed to a crash in the framework) it should present the stack trace. When that crash dialog is open, go to Start->Run and type in "%TEMP%\PdnSetup" and then click OK. Try copying all of those files on to a folder on your desktop, then close the crash dialog, and then double click on SetupShim.exe and see if you get the same error.

You probably want to create one layer for each picture you're blending (Layers -> Import from File, and then select the picture(s) that you want). Then you can adjust the blending for each different layer as appropriate. Blending like that seen in your Jessica Alba signature, with all the soft edges and whatnot, requires a bit more work and creativity but is definitely possible.

Note the added emphasis on "carefully" Removing the hot dog won't be automatic or "free": you'll have to work for it. Basically what you do is set up an location on the image to copy from by Ctrl+clicking with the Clone Stamp tool. Usually a nearby area works best -- something with roughly the same color or pattern that you want to use. You'll see the circle brush preview resting at that point, slowly pulsating. You can then draw just like with the regular brush, but it will copy from that anchor area, and the area it copies from will move with your mouse.

Paint.NET uses whatever TrueType fonts you have installed in your system. So just do whatever you'd normally do in order to acquire and install those on your system.

My guess would be screenshot capture. These global hooks usually monitor keyboard or mouse input for various purposes. Sometimes for quite useful purposes (screenshots), sometimes for malicious purposes (sniffing passwords).

Your Verdana font is corrupt. You will need to replace it with a working version; an easy way to do this is to copy it from another computer.

You either have software that is installing global hooks, or spyware/malware (which is probably installing global hooks). An example of some software that we know to conflict with Paint.NET is called AllChars. The reason I know this is that you are getting "overflow errors." We turn this off, but oftentimes the software I mentioned above is poorly written and turns these back on but then doesn't restore it back to off.
