My sympathies numenius. I haven’t done anything yet so nothing to report. In part because I have PDN still running on my office computer. In addition, messing around with .NET framework has made my computer act squirrely. Mainly can’t do restore points --now not even in safe mode. In any case, I’ll post results of my attempts. Let us know how you fare also, even negative results are important although we may all have slightly different glitches. Good luck.

OK, I'll get my nerve up and give it a try tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks Sarkut, The repair got the same result. I have .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, and 3.5 SP1 on this computer. Should I remove and reinstall all of them?

Running XP SP2 I was using PDN flawlessly for 7 months, updated a couple oftimes, then didn’t boot up for the past 2 months or so. When I went to bootyesterday I got the piano chord sound with no error messages or anything—V3.5.2. Next I tried the pdnrepair and same problem. I tried to uninstall, could not. Used Final Uninstaller andit seemed to do the trick, although I got a windows popup saying “registryconsole tool error” during the uninstall. Next I couldn’t do a system restore to any previous date.Booted in safe mode and did the restore and that solved that problem, i.e., I was able torestore to a previous date. Bottom line is that now when I download and try and installthe latest version of PDN I get a “Paint.net Setup front-end has encountered aproblem. I am not using Run as, I ran the chkdsk /f, and I tried the MS installer utilityand I get a VBscript runtime error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
