weejackyy Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 when i download it, it downloads and opens as a word document. when it opens it says: The file Paint.NET 3.5.5 cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents. It also says: Details - Microsoft Office cannot open this file as some parts are missing or invalid. Somebody please help! Thanks in advance!

Sarkut Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) If you are given a choice between Open with and Save File when downloading, choose Save File. It sounds like your OS file associations may be screwed up. What OS version are you using? (XP, Vista, etc.) Edited July 6, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
