richardsta6 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Paint.net 4.0.9 has been running happily on Win 8 all year - until today. Today I get a windows dialog stating "a device attached to the system is not functioning" this happens for paintdotnet.exe and pdnrepair.exe Paint.Net does not uninstall. Other than the monitor I am looking at and the wireless keyboard and mouse I am using, I don't have any other devices attached. I have had this before but cannot recall the fix. Various fora show convoluted anti-virus/malware procedures, but are not related directly to paint.net. Suggestions? Fixes? thanks Richard S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 'Attached devices' aren't limited to external peripherals; it could be any hardware component. Make sure the drivers installed on your system are up to date, especially for your GPU. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.
