If you look at Window under the help document you would have found this. http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/en/WindowMenu.html Hope that helps :wink:. PS: You install Paint.NET or did your work do it. They need to update to 3.30 if they want to get help.

Ok F1 will help you find how to fix the placement of the windows on your Paint.NET for your tool box and so on. Now in order to update Paint.NET to 3.30 which your going to want to do as help for lower versions is not supported, you will need to log in as an administrator.

From the sounds of it. (Not to sure as I can't find that error post anywere else here) You are missing WIA or the wiaaut.dll file. Download WIA and install it or download the wiaaut.dll file that is needed for WIA to work. You can find so information and download links here

Have you tryed restarting your computer to insure the problem is not something in memory. Also does your computer use an on board video card as the file says you only got 1023 MB of RAM were it should say 1024 MB.

As long as you were able to open the iso file to put the Paint.NEt program on your computer. If not I could always zip it up for you.

The path command has notthing to do with Paint.NET so don't worry about it. I get the same thing you get when typing it into a command window. Ok on to the work around. As you can see in my sig I did a tutorial on how to make a Paint.NET boot CD / USB Drive. What that does is allow you to burn a full copy of Paint.NET to a cd and bring it to any computer with .NET Framework 2.0 or higher and boot it right from the CD. Now guessing you don't got a 2nd computer that you can install Paint.NET to and do this I have taken the time to do most of the work for you. Ok 1st thing I need to ask you is if you know how to burn an image file (ISO file) to disc. An ISO image file is not a image as in a pic but a file that contents are data. If you do know how to burn ISO files then download this ISO file http://www.dextut.com/misc/pdn3-3-0.iso That is Paint.NET 3.30. Go to your burning software and pick the burn image to disc option. On nero it is found under back up. Find the ISO file and burn it to a CD. You should end up with a CD filled with the Paint.NET program. You can now run Paint.NET from this CD whenever you want to use it and not have the uninstall problem or you can create a folder on your computer called Paint.NET and copy all the files on the cd to that folder. So you can run Paint.NET 3.30 right from your computer but you may have an uninstall problem.

I still think it a problem with your temp folder but if you want to go through some more steps to see if we can get around it then sure I got no problem with that. Ok I asked you this is my 2nd post and you never said anything on it. When installing Paint.NET at what part of the install screen does the error happen. I do know a work around that should work and so far has worked 100 % on many systems I done it to but there is a problem with it that has to do with uninstalling. Ok if your interested let me know and I will point you to the best option and my 2nd option for it.

Translated: "The file library of image acquisition Windows (WIA) "wiaaut.dll" is not available.Please ....."

Which will be a problem as %temp% find the right path to the temp folder. Eg yours is C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\temp mine is C:\Documents and Settings\HITMAN-X-\temp how does a program know were the temp folder is. Well it don't have to, all it needs is the %temp% variable as that variable stores the address to the temp folder. Sorry again but I can only see a repair of Windows fixing this. You may have better luck on finding an answer on google on this problem then I did.

On XP and XP asks for the CD. Also Windows Server 2003 will ask you for the CD as well for IIS to be install on the Server. XP uses IIS 5 Windows Server 2003 uses IIS 6 I think Vista uses IIS 7 (Not sure what Vista got done for IIS) mnc54 look at this video I did of me doing the command cd %temp% to go to my %temp% folder in CMD. I also do a dir to show that it works as it lists the files. http://www.dextut.com/misc/tempcmd.htm

When you pay for it you should get it as it is useless to the companies because you are only allow to do one install for one computer. Your not even allow to take it and put it on another computer even if you are getting rid of the old computer. If you order right from Dell or HP they send you the CDs with your computer. However you go to a shop and by a Dell or HP laptop you got to ask them most of the time to give you the CDs. The Windows CD are needed for many things as Windows is not perfect. You can't even install some things with out the CDs. Go ahead and try to install IIS for website hosting, and FTP hosting. You will get to step 2 were it will go give me the CD. As for a backup disk what are you talking about ? Sure he can make a backup of his hard drive. I do that every month for my 150 GB hard drive and store it on my 500 GB hard drive. (Well he can do that if he got XP Pro, If he got XP Home he will need the Windows CD to install Windows Backup Tool.) But still doing a backup of his system is only good if the repair does not work. Other then that it pointless as his Windows seems to be corrupted and when restoring the backup he only going to restore the problem with it. If your talking about if he got a hidden partition with some of the windows files on it then all I can say is good luck to you on that. You can find info on that here http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/ ... y_disk.htm

[rant]I wish computer companies would stop being so stupid and give there customers the CD's for Windows when selling a computer that has Windows on it. Geez I format my computer 2 or more times a year and start new just so Windows wont bog down over time.[/rant] Sorry about that. Now lets get back to your problem. Don't worry about that autoexec.bat file as I did some more digging on it and that command is only for the temp folder in the windows folder and not the %temp% folder. I don't know what to tell you other then the repair. I really can't find any other topics on people having Windows %temp% being corrupted. When you were in the DOS window did you type cd %temp% just like that. cd is change directory and %temp% is the directory you want to change to.

NOTE: Look at the PS: 1st as it is a setting you can do to your autoexec.bat file. Do you have your Windows XP CD with you ? There should be a repair option on your windows CD. I believe that doing the repair option will only fix windows and will not delete any other files on your system. If you have never done a repair before make sure you read through the screens as you do not want to reinstall windows but only repair it. Here a doc at MS on it http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin ... oug92.mspx To be on the safe side I would do backups of anything you want to keep. PS: I am not sure if this topic will help you as I don't have this setting in my autoexec.bat file. But who knows maybe you can set it in yours and it may work. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/92635

1st thing I have to ask is, are you logged in as an Admin ? If not you should log in as an Admin. %temp% is a variable in windows it self just like %systemroot%. I don't see how that variable can't work unless you have a corrupted registry or install of windows. Matter a fact google search shows me notthing for that error on the %temp% variable. Just try it again but this time in Command Prompt. Click Start > Run. Type cmd in the run box and click ok. Now you should have a dos looking window. Type cd %temp%. That should put you into your temp folder. Now type dir just to see if you can view the files in there. See I want you to clean out your temp folder. That means all files in there except the ones that are in use. They will come back with an error saying you can't delete them. But 1st we need to make sure you don't got a temp folder problem. Because everyones temp folder path is different you need that variable as most programs will use that variable instead of having to ask you were your temp folder is. I am guessing Paint.NET install uses it to dump files during the install. You said you played with the registry before. Was this by hand or by a 3rd party software ? It highly recomaned to not play with registry. I can tell you that right now as every hardware book I have and Networking book I have says it. Even though you have to edit it sometimes like in Windows Server 2003.

Hmm Go to My Computer and type %temp% in the address bar. Clean out the whole temp folder. Note there may be some files you can't delete as other programs are using them to dump data to. So don't worry about the ones that can't be deleted. Now try to install it again. If it crashs again can you tell us were you were in the installer ?

Hey BB do you have an onboard video card ? I ask because your ran is an odd number (1013 MB) were as 1 GB should be 1024 MB.

Dude I am trying to help you. If you don't want my help just say so other wise lose the attitude, relax and lets try to go through some steps to troubleshooting. Have you tryed what was said in this topic viewtopic.php?t=243&highlight=spooky If not make sure you read throught it.

This is a old topic. Also the error reported by the the 1st poster of this topic is 1603. You only said "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and that does not mean error 1603. You should make your own topic for your own error. If you posted in this topic because you think it is the same problem then I take it that you also tryed the steps in this topic to fix the problem. Also you read this topic: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=854 Oh and the new version of Paint.NET is 3.30 not 3.22 anymore. You will get no help for installing 3.22 here as Troubleshooting is for the latest version. Sorry it in the rules of the forum. PS: I see that error you got when i try to install Paint.NET when there is already another version of Paint.NET installed or when someone does not uninstall Paint.NET but delete's it and thinks that will uninstall it.

Ya 5 or 6 down from this one comes this topic: viewtopic.php?p=165650#p165650

From the looks of it the printer settings are not the same for every printer. Other words it not Paint.NET but the printer. See image of my printer settings when I go to Print an image.

I don't get this option when I go to print. Is it just for your type of printer. Mine goes to print and asks me what layout I want. I pick full page photo print and thats it. Everything is fine. Don't got to check any check boxs.

I am not sure what your even talking about. Can you explain what the problem is better then that.

mine working now to. So I guess forumer fixed it.

You should be posting any problems with plugins in there own plugin topics. So things to look at: Make sure the plugin is made for the version of Paint.NET you are using. Make sure your Paint.NET is up to date. Try this tutorial on how to install plugins ( http://boltbait.googlepages.com/install ) You should also look at the forum rules as you broke a few and this can lead to your topic being locked. viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3446 EDIT: BoltBait you beat me to it
