Paint.net crashes when I start it (V3.05).

[titi_nicolas]

I just installed the version 3.05 (I have never installed/used Point.net before).

I also have .net framework 2 installed and have even tried to repair it to see if it can fix the problem.

Every time I start the prog. I get an error message "There was an unhandled error... blablabla, see crash log".

Here is the log:

You probably have a macro utility, or ATI Hydravision, installed.

[titi_nicolas]

no, I don't have ATI Hydravision.

and as far as I know I don't use any "macro utility"...

What kind of utility are you thinking of?

[Rick Brewster]

Please see this post for more information: http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewt ... light=hook

Disabling these types of utilities is the only way to fix this. Macro utilities are the most common culrprit, but not the only kind. So you will need to find which application you have running (usually a background application, quite often sitting in the tray) that is causing this problem.

[titi_nicolas]

OK, I found the culprit: it is a multidesktop software. I have been using it for 5 years without experiencing any problem....

Nevertheless I need this soft, so I won't use Point.net but rather an other soft that works fine with it!

Thanks anyway...

[Rick Brewster]

I recommend you contact the author of that software and report this bug to them. Even if you don't end up using Paint.NET, it is still an error in their software, and others will benefit from a fix.

Or, maybe they already have an updated version that works correctly.

[titi_nicolas]

This multidesktop soft is kind of old and there is no support at all.

But, I really don't understand how a bad programing in one soft can affect another one and even prevents it to run properly????

I mean, I use dozens of programs and they all runs well!
