Wither Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 From my experience, only Administrator accounts can drop the plug-ins into the Effects folder. (Silly Vista permissions. ) Quote YouTube | Myspace | deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I assume you're familiar with this tutorial: http://boltbait.googlepages.com/install In Vista, the plugins still go in the same folder, C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects, the only thing that's changed is the interface of the Windows Explorer file view window. I believe that under Vista, the root hard drive shortcut is called "Computer", though I don't have Vista to check. Alternately, I believe you can simply right-click on the Windows icon on the taskbar, select "Explore", and type the path and folder ("C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects") into the Location bar. Drop your DLL files in there. Again, I don't have a copy of Vista, so I can't be totally sure, but I believe those core Windows functionalities haven't changed in the move from XP to Vista. Perhaps someone who does have Vista can hop on and confirm or correct my steps. Until then, I wish you best of luck!

david.atwell Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Just hit the "Print Screen" or "PrtSc" button on your keyboard, open Paint.NET or some other graphics program, and press Ctrl+V to paste. Microsoft includes that functionality with Windows. :-) 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.
