[The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.]

okay so yesterday i used paint.net 3.0 with absolutely no problem at all, then today i tried using it and it kept crashing and sent this crash file

This text file was created because Paint.NET crashed.

Please e-mail this file to paint.net@hotmail.com so we can diagnose and fix the problem.

my first reaction was to uninstall and reinstall to get whatever missing file was needed but when i tried to install 3.22 it wouldn't let me. I read in the other thread that it may be the Microsoft .Net Framework but I have 2.0 and it worked perfectly fine yesterday.
