david.atwell Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Unfortunately that's a pretty common problem. Right now Rick is working hard on version 4.0 of the program, but we recommend that people use this link http://www.getpaint.net/download.html#download for now. The other way certainly requires a bit of thinking. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 It's been noted frequently that some ads on the website are misleading. Deliberately so. See http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/27383-mypcbackupcom-and-downloadsnappycom-links-sleazy/ I recommend you install an Ad Blocker or use the link David posted. <moved from Troubleshooting to paint.net Discussion & Questions> Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBdoll3 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Wow! Thanks so much for this info. I think I had this issue way back when I first tired to load, but things are good so far, so guess all is well with me. I sent the link to my daughter and friend when I found your site. Not sure if they have tired to download anything. I will send the link you have provided in hopes they haven't had issues.. I can't remember when it was I loaded your site, but it was confusing at the time. Now, if I may ask... Are there ever 'updates' to Paint.net, and if so, should I follow the links you have here, or are updates automatic? Thanks again for the information.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Utilities Menu > Check For updates. When the dialog opens the Options button gives you the ability to automatically scan for updates.
