FYI: Killing jusched.exe did not fix the problem for me. Does disabling the option for Java to automatically check for updates help at all? When you uncheck the box to auto-check, it gives you the option to "never" check. Try that if you haven't already.

If you move your mouse to the Open With > menu item, what are your options? Do you have the option to Choose Program...?

When I am working with screen shots that I am going to put in a Word document, I like to save them as JPG. When I have 20 or 30 of them, this means that when I save each one, I have to manually change the file type from the default of PNG to JPG. I want the default file type to remember what I picked last time so I don't have to change it every time. Is there a way to do this? Some sort of hidden config file or registry entry I can tweak?

Thanks for the extremely fast reply and for the link that explains what causes that BSoD. I still don't know what crashed my system. I guess something else was trying to work in Paint.NET's memory space at the same time as Paint.NET and when I killed the Paint.NET app, it deallocated all the memory it thought it should have been using even that bit that something else decided to use, hence my system panicked. Right? Whatever it is, it is not on you at all. Thanks. -Jason

Paint.NET version is 3.08.2708.22795 I ran pdn, exited it. I ran it again, actually editing a picture, then exited it. I tried to run it again and it never came all the way up, just ate all my spare CPU cycles (it was using 85% - 90%). I tried to kill it with Process Explorer (sysinternals) and immediately got a BSoD. It was: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT STOP: 0x0000004E (0x00000099, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) Windows claimed it was doing a memory dump on the BSoD, but I haven't found the file yet. After my system came back up pdn runs fine. Here is the psinfo data from my system with the PII removed.
