Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Try the suggestion in post #2. Be careful with that utility - it's VERY powerful.

LaLa619 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) hello again. i tried the suggestion in post #2. i downloaded and ran the program. a little yellow triangle popped up with an exclamation mark inside telling me that the fixit program was corrupt. i tried the other suggestions as well, and my computer keeps telling me the repair programs will not work. i tried restoring my laptop to its previous state, and that failed as well. i know that my laptop crashed a few days ago, but this is becoming very discouraging for me. are there any more suggestions that you could possibly post for me that i have not tried yet? i would greatly appreciate it. my computer knowledge leaves a lot to be desired. and i am willing to try anything you recommend to me. thank you so much for your time Edited December 29, 2012 by LaLa619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim100361 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 You mention that your laptop crashed a few days ago. Maybe it would be better for you to take your unit to someone like Geek Squad or a local computer service outfit and have them take a look at the unit.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 ^^ Agreed. Your problem with Paint.NET seems to stem from other issues with your laptop. I'd get those fixed before attempting to reinstall. You could try checking the HD. It may be worth it prior to seeking professional advice. Pyrochild recently wrote these "how-to" instructions: From an elevated command prompt, first run "chkdsk /f" then "sfc /scannow"Then run PdnRepair.exe in the Paint.NET install directory.
