"pdncrash" on my desktop...what?

[satanuus]

I don't understand...I just noticed a file (notepad file) named "pdncrash"...I opened it, and this is what came up:

This text file was created because Paint.NET crashed.

Ever since that came up, my computer has been acting funny (buttons not showing up, windows not opening)...I am going to restart my computer, and run a cleaner program, then come back and check this post.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Oh, and I can't remember my PdN crashing........

[satanuus]

Just rebooted my pc, and its running a lot faster, but I still don't get it...

[pyrochild]

Just looks like Windows got itself confused. Who knows....

I'm pretty sure this one's not a PdN issue, but I've been known to be wrong. Let us know if it reoccurs.

[satanuus]

Thanks pyro.

It hasn't happened again yet...and my computer is running fine again, so I'll just ignore it. I talked to my dad (who loves PdN, actually he was the one that told me to get it) and he said it's fine, it just crashed (like my Windows Vista always used to do )

[vostok7]

This has happened to me a few times before. I just deleted the notepad file off my desktop and everything worked fine.

haha, same. Thats what I did.

A note: pdncrash.log is not a cause of any problem, but rather a symptom. You can delete it if you want to, but if it happens again, please post it before doing so. It's reporting something that happened, not causing something bad to happen.

Another note: Once you've notified us of your pdncrash.log contents, you'll want to delete it (or at least move it); next time Paint.NET crashes, it'll just append it to the end of that report, not create a new one. :-) If you delete it, it'll be easier to find.

[satanuus]

I will do that david.

yea same thing just popped up on my desktop

Necroposting galore.

Hello valefor188.

[rule=11]Three months is the limit[/rule] before the topic is classified as 'dead', it has been a little over five.

If you would be so kind to repost your crash log as a new topic, rather than a post, somebody will be just around the corner to help you. Many thanks .

Also, whilst your reposting, perhaps reviewing the Rules are in good order.
