Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Shouldn't be anywhere else. A quick search of the forum revealed this thread: Resident Expert Pyrochild first recommended repairing the .NET frameworks. If that doesn't work try the hint in post #4. Finally, read right through the thread, then return to post #22 and try the steps listed there. Note: Do try these in the order specified - they go from easy to hard Please let us know what worked/didn't work.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programmes. Select the .NET Framework and click change/remove (I know it sounds a bit odd). Select REPAIR and let it do it's stuff. perhaps someday, someone that works on this thing will give some insight Remember that this software is provided free. Rick (Paint.NET developer) is very busy developing version 4.0 and not here to solve issues that may not even be related to Paint.NET. That said, Rick makes himself available on the forum a great deal - more than most other developers I know of.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If you're clueless then don't go installing/uninstalling stuff randomly. There is no change/remove button beside the .NET framework? What OS & service packs are you using?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It might be time to try Post #22 as mentioned above. Following that I'm all out of suggestions.
