indieman Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 This sounds very stupid, but I can't see how to 'add a layer' - when I click on 'add a layer' nothing happens(!) Any ideas? Is there a compatibility problem with Windows Vista or something? Any advice is much appreciated. And no, I'm not a newbie to Paint.net. I've created several posters using multiple layers before so I know the proceedure, however it seems to have stopped offering the 'add a layer' fascility. Very odd! I should add that in the layer box (for layer 1), there is a small orange star on the top left of the box. What does that mean? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himself22 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I've never heard of anything like this, could you post some screenshots please? Quote "The truth is just an excuse for having a lack of imagination." Photobucket sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 You don't need to use the snipping tool, just take a screenshot of the whole screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Never heard of that problem before. I suggest you gives us a pictures so we are sure what you're talking about. My best advice for now is save your image and restart PdN.

indieman Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 can't take a screenshot with vista, just tried it, got a black screen and had to do a system restore to yesterday, so made the whole situation worse. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indieman Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 thanks for all the help. Just went to oldversion.com and downloaded an early version of paint.net which works fine. (This must be the version I used at college which is so much easier and better than the current version) I think that proves there's an incompatibility issue between the current paint.net and at least one version of Vista (mine) and that's a shame. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Nothing wrong with mine and I have the latest version (3.36) and Vista Basic. It`s worked fine from day one. If you get a black screen when you try to take a screenshot I would suggest it is your PC at fault,not PDN. I can take screenshots using Prnt Scrn or my Bug Shooting screen capture software without any problems.
