noobis Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) So I love this program so much, but one day when I tried to launch it just stopped responding as soon as I started the program. So I went ahead and uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall.. but was prompted with this: Ive been searching for answers for days.. and I havent found anything that actually helps. PLEASE, someone help! Thanks! Edited November 13, 2017 by noobis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toe_head2001 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The version it shows for KernalBase.dll is a bit outdated (compared to the on my Win 7 system). Can you confirm that your computer is up to date with Windows Update? Also, please try running paint.net in Windows Safe Mode. That will tell us if some third-party software is interfering with paint.net. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to use the System Update Readiness Tool, but that did not fix it either. Also, I tried running paint.net in Safe Mode by holding CTRL and double clicking it? That didn't seem to work either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only one update that needs to be installed, and its the one that reads that error above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobis Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Also, paint.net still doesn't respond on startup in Safe Mode :(( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Out of curiosity, what is that update? Does it have a name, or at least a KB number? Can you try running Windows Update while is Safe Mode. That might work. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobis Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Alright, so I tried to even open Windows Update in Safe Mode, but it simply wouldn't even open. Here is what the update(s?) look like before and after install attempt: After: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You used 'Safe Mode with Networking', right? You can't download the updates without networking enabled. Quote Succeeded: 1 update Failed: 1 update So, other updates are in fact installing? Looks like just that one is failing. Sorry, I'm sure what else you can try. This is more of an Windows issue, rather than a paint.net.

This is more of an Windows issue, rather than a paint.net. I did do that, yeah. Well, this is a shame. Think there's a way to reset all windows applications or something? Maybe there's an alternate paint.net download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what you mean by this. 2 minutes ago, noobis said: Maybe there's an alternate paint.net download? No, there is not. Even if there was, the underlying is still with your installation of Windows. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobis Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Welp. This sucks. I guess I will have to kiss this program goodbye for a bit. Thanks for helping and the fast replies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
