Another thing it says that everyone is offline, even me. Edit: I changed it so I'm not hidden and apparently I'm still offline. (which explains everyone else being offline)

I knew someone would say that . However, linking to the old url, only to go to the new one is a waste.

You should update the link on the main site, it still goes to the old site.

What are you talking about? From the first line of Wikipedia- "a memory leak is a particular kind of unintentional memory consumption by a computer program where the program fails to release memory when no longer needed". If a program/ process is hogging up too much memory, just disable and enable it with "new task" in the task manager.

To defrag your disk- start>Run...>dfrg.msc>Defragment; just wait for it to finish. Also, do a spyware/ adware scan with this: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/ like david metioned. Also, click start>Run...>msconfig>Starup and you can basically uncheck anything that is not realated to Virus, or Malware protection, although you may want to google something before disabling it (you can always renable it). Also, try this guide, it will help you suck some more performance out of your computer, and you will learn a lot. link

Something else- sometimes it won't reproduce.

Sweet, I'm not crazy- And... Background for a website

I actually have something that may be related, if I make a new 1000 x 1 image, then immediately try to resize it to 500 x 1, It says "Not enough memory to resize image." ~I have 1GB of RAM

That's exactly how I have it set. Because this is a problem with explorer, there would be no way to fix it? However, the thing I find odd is that .dds and .tga files display normally, and, by default, they are open by Paint.NET... I actually have it so all extensions are displayed so I'm just worried that it may confuse newer users...

When you right click on some files and select "Properties", in the window that appears it says "Paint.NET Image." This is in contrast too what would be ideal for it to say, like "BMP File". The reason I believe that this should be changed is that it makes it difficult to identify which files are which; in particular when file extensions aren't enabled (the default) and when files share the same default icon (as is the case for GIF and PNG). Also it can be very frustrating when images have the same name, icon, but a different file extension, making hard to distinguish between the two images. Below is a list of affected file types: •BMP •GIF •JPG •PNG Also, I don't see why this is the case, because in the "file types" window, it shows that it opens with pdn and calls it a *File Extenion Here* File.

Ghost Ranger, I have had a similar problem and got the second error every time I launched an internet shortcut. I have the following fix for all users with the same problem, please see here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error ... _-_Firefox This workaraound is for Firefox, I don't know if it works for IE/Opera. However, it is not an error of PDN. Interesting... you don't get the pop-ups anymore. But shouldn't Paint.NET try to work around this? Back on topic- The icons are all fine, however, more vista-like icons would defiantly be added if possible.

While messing around with .gif animations I noticed that you get this pop-up when trying to save a .gif animation in Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Since Paint.NET isn't a animation program, I though it may be a good idea to put up a warning message so someone doesn't accidentally lose all their work!

The same thing happens when I type a URL in the windows explorer address bar. Does Paint.NET launch the URL through windows explorer?

oh ok. something else that is... interesting. 1. Open Firefox 2. Open Task Manager and kill the firefox.exe process 3. Open paint.net and launch one of the help menu internet shortcuts. You should get a error pop-up along with the session restore pop-up. This doesn't seem to be a bug w/ Firefox because I tried something similar w/ 7-zip, A-squared and CCleaner and got no error pop-ups. Edit: The shortcuts do bring you were they are suppose to. screenshots:

It does that for the Tutorials and plugins too. Similar reason?

Noscript sucks, It does redirect like it is supposed to, I was just wondering why it did that and if it was supposed to go to a site that redirects to the 'correct' site rather than just going directly to the 'correct' site.

Are the shortcuts under the 'help' menu supposed to link to a site that redirects to the correct site? like this: Edit- Removed screenshot- no longer necessary

*coughcoughimageshackisthebestcoughcough*... I have nothing to say.

Well... the only thing I can think of is deleting 'C:\Program Files\Paint.NET' then deleting the installer with this: Windows Installer CleanUp Utility and then see if it will install. Edit: oh- and just noticed, there is a thread titled '!!! Are you having problems Installing or Uninstalling?' at the top of the forum...

see if this helps, the 1st result when I googled "KB928367" http://www.microsoft.com/communities/ne ... ae1a86&p=1

According to This Site, as of June, 37.3% of people on the internet use IE6, which as stated doesn't display transparent PNGs right.I was surprised that so many people are still using IE6, because it is such a flawed browser (if you can even call it one).

Now that I think about it, try using the Feather Plugin you should end up w/ something like this:

You could use PNG and tell anyone using IE6 (because it doesn't display transparent PNGs right) to get a better browser like Firefox, Opera or IE7.

I think the web safe color thing doesn't matter any more because as you can see from this website, 95.5% of people on the internet use modern browsers that should be able to display more than web safe color list. Also, it says on this page:

This isn't a exploding planet, but I made it using the tutorial and I thought it came out kind of cool. Edit: The picture was far to big so I made the picture smaller to hopefully improve loading times.
