Glad you are fixed. MSPaint won't be in the Install/Uninstall tab of
Add/Remove Programs. It will be in the Windows Setup tab...
1. "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, "
2. Click Accessories, and then click Details.
3. It will show up as "Paint".
But I think it may be possible you have no Windows Setup tab. If so,
I''l go search for the thread in which that condition was solved or
explained. It was a tough one, IIRC. (Therefore, I'll give Edwards/Bear
the first shot, maybe.)

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

|
| To resolve this problem, use registry editor to delete the following
| registry key:
|
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt
| Version\Applets\Paint
|
| This registry key is rebuilt the next time you start Paint.

| First, I cannot see ms paint in " install/uninstall programs"
|
| Second, Where would I reload "paint" from. I presume it is on the

|
| Third, if I attempt to fix paint Am I likely to end up with a Dead
