I disable things,or set to manual basically everything on this list blackviper

First off,thanks for all the responses... It happens even when XYplorer is disabled,i'm pretty sure that's not it.The author of the program says it makes no registry changes,that and i've scanned the registry myself. It's not the file size. I barely use anti-virus,nothing that's always running.Mostly stand alone utilities. When i uninstall software,i uninstall software (btw,this build does do a better job at not leaving things all through out the registry).When i uninstall,other than the obvious uninstall through add/remove console i go through the programs folder,the C:\Documents and Settings folders ,then i take a registry scanner and scan for anything name paint.net. This has happened throughout the year (pre SP3 RC 1) even upon a complete reformat of my system after buying a new drive.It's random though,fickle,sometimes it saves correctly other times,well.I've tried Paint.net every three months or so,then reinstall.Just to check it out,i'm not an art/graphics guy so i just give it the once or twice around,see if it's cool on my system,then this problem always pops up. I do tweak my system,disable services,does anyone know if there is something in the Administrative Tools/services that paint.net absolutely needs?

Yes freeze still happens...it's an app that's barely integrated,you can run right out of a zip file,no install and no shell ext. menus.The other files you see in my process menu refers to my screencast software.

File manager.

I'm still having this problem. It's as simple as i open up Paint dot net,scribble a little,go to save,then bam! complete freeze.I did the repair app in the program folder still happens. I managed to catch the whole thing on a screencast Screencast 1mb PC: Windows XP PRO Service Pack 3 RC Pentium 4 2.8 GHZ 2 gigs of Ram Dot Net 3 Framework

Paint.NET v3.20 Beta 2 Hate to bump an old thread but I'm still having this problem. It's as simple as i open up Paint dot net,scribble a little,go to save,then bam! complete freeze.I did the repair app in the program folder still happens.

I fired up the the screencapture software to give example.. and now it works :oops: I feel stupid,don't no,It happened about three times,now works fine. My deepest regrets if i created any fud,i love paint.net Thanks for responses though.

As soon as i go file>save as--i get frozen and have to terminate through the process window.

Just wanted to say thanks too.I lurk around these forums more than i post and have learned a great deal.Thank you for your time and efforts and here is to many more releases,though it's already impressive as it stands today at 2.6 Final.

I love Betanews,but they can have some pretty wicked slowdowns sometimes.I found FileHippo can be a good alternative. http://www.filehippo.com/download_paint.net/ Here are a few others Softpedia http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia ... -NET.shtml Download.com http://www.download.com/Paint-NET/3000- ... 66442.html
