Thanks for your concern. Slept on it and retried your tips this morning and sucess. I did turn off my firewall this time and I did it by deleting framework.net then my copy of Paint and then downloading a new framework 2 net followed by paint.net I must have been doing back to front yesterday. Sorry if my post was out of order but this is something else I am new at! Thanks Mick Paint net make me look good

Look...... I cannot get my head around the fact that I cannot use paint net when it worked 2 days ago and now tells me it has encountered a problem...... yes I have seen Rick whatsits collection of possible solutions.. but they don't ring any bells or blow any whistles for me....... the bloody download will not work. I have deleted with the clean up thingy, I have tried to download a new framework whatsit, I have have tried the patch/workround for .net 2 what ever its called. But for some reason I cannot get the bloody thing on my computer any more.... no I do not have any viruses or malware. I have got to the point where I think microsoft are taking the mickey. Will some one tell me slowly..... what is the latest solution to my woes... my marriage is on the line.. the kids say they wont visit again until I talk nicely to them... but what the... I want Paint Net back on my PC. Come to my house and fix it please.. yur dad
