ok, I dont know if the paintdotnet file had anything to with it, because it was the same problem, yet I had an old 3.5.1 install sitting on the drive, and I inputed the old ddsfiletype.dll in the new 3.5.2 filetype folder and it works. EDIT>: ok so it didnt work, I did try to save a new bmp to dds and it worked, yet in opening an dds file to save or from an old bmp/jpg, it shuts down silently, and yes using an old backup computer 1100mhz p3.

Well.. I got a new problem now... I have installed 3.5.2 and when I run the application, it works, then I open a file up and save it, and the whole program shuts down just as it starts to compute? EDIT>: I have even uninstalled 3.5.2. and installed 3.5.1 and still the same problem, I did try to create a new file and it saved normally... EDIT>: I have tried another saving format in other than DDS, and it doesnt crash, going to uninstall dds thumbnail viewer... EDIT>: I have uninstalled dds thumbnail view, still using 3.5.1, same problem saving dds, going to uninstall, I dont know what is the problem is... EDIT>: I have reviewed the forum, I have found the PaintDotNet.Native.x86.dll file, it should work !

thank you for your tip, rationally thinking, I hear what your saying, sp1, is the first orginal version or an update to the dotnetfx3.5... EDIT>: I have downloaded dotnetfx35.exe SP1! installing shortly. EDIT>: I have installed SP1, successfull installation of PAINT.NET! Thank you!

I would of thought that would be the answer, and that is why I asked it.

Why do I have to be forcefully install dotnetfx35.exe? I have it already installed, but Paint.net insists on installing it???
