Holley2583 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I downloaded the plug-in manager which requires service pack 2 xp, im running win7 64 bit which should have allowed me to use service pack 2 but of course not, so instead i turned off framework 3.5 (that worked before using a dff. app). But still didnt work, i gave up and manually separated all my files/.dlls into their proper folder cuz I was missing lots of plugins. I have turned framework 3.5 back on, but Paint.net still will not open with a message saying"Paint.net has stopped working, we are looking for the problem", then disappears off the screen. Now what? Did I mess this up by placing files in the files folder and .dll in effects folder...didnt touch anything else. Feel free to email me at holley2583@live.com if you have some ideas...im so sick of this HP bloody potato already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 (edited) Holley2583, On Vista the Plugin Manager needs to be opened with a right-click > Run As Administrator... ===================================== This may or might not sort out things. Try running PdnRepair: Program Files/Paint.NET/PdnRepair.exe Then reboot your PC. ===================================== If that doesn't fix things: Try running chkdsk, with the /f parameter, from the command line. chkdsk with /f parameter Edited April 6, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holley2583 Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 well i used the repair utility, but i have zero plugins anymore...did i do this from the serive pak2 thing, or because i separated .dll's from everything else. I would do a recover, but now my C drive is corrupted and wow, what a waste of time and energy. Maybe there's another utility that would enable paint.net to communicate with the plugin files again? I mean i have well over a hundred files/.dll's just sitting there. Im still not sure whats going on with the c drive, but i did an R9 restart, and it seems fine...

Sarkut Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Okay, so it sounds like Paint.NET opens now, is that correct? If so, look in the top menu - Utilities > Plugin Load Errors See if there are load error reports on the plugins. If your C drive is corrupted then doing the chkdsk scan may help.
