CephilliciusTheNEO Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I've gone through This Post, It was able to help me Install the Program but unfortunately I'm unable to open it now. I was able to open it yesterday but I did a Windows Update, and now it wont open. I'm running: Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 (I recently had to do a System Restore because some Folders in System32 got Corrupted from my Computer turning off during it booting up. I'll update it ASAP.) Processor: AMD E-350 Processor 1.60 GHz RAM: 4.00 GB (3.50 GB Usable) A screenshot of the Error I get when opening Paint.NET is below.

Near impossible to tell, but chances are, Yes. It was close to 140+ Updates, and it's Still Downloading more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Ok, when Windows Update finishes, make sure the graphics driver for your APU is up to date: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows 7 - 64 I would go with the v16.2.1 Beta (regardless of the beta status). If that doesn't work, then try the older v15.7.1. Quote June 7th, 2023: Sorry about any broken images in my posts. The underlying DNS issue should be resolved soon.

CephilliciusTheNEO Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) The Updates finished, and I've also updated my Graphics Drivers, and it's not helping. Now the error message only shows up sometimes (See the Spoiler on the first Post). When I open Task Manager and look in Processes, "paintdotnet.exe" shows up for around 5 seconds, then disappear and doesn't show up again. Any and every bit of help is greatly Appreciated. I tried using different Art Programs today just in case I'm unable to get PDN to work again, and I found they're all too complex for me. EDIT: There were a few more updates. I left my Computer on over night to Download and Install them. When I woke up this morning I tried to open Paint.NET again and now it works.
