AshMat Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Check if it's totally gone first: Start>Run>"mspaint" then hit enter. If it doesn't load, then try finding your os disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I loaded up , which is weird, but the short cut was gone, and it wasn't in the list for opening pictures with, any how cheers for your quick response, much appreciated, (i'm such a novice when it comes to computers ). Edit: while i'm being such a noob, is there anyway I can get a short cut for it to appear anywear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ironflame Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Locate the mspaint application in system32 then create a shortcut from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arab_freak Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Ohh, that happened to me once. Exactly the same thing, except I was removing IE 7. Answer here: http://newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=321875 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Boo Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 there is that way... but cant you search through the recycling bin if you have deleted something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 At the moment it won't let me open pictures with paint, but i can save a picture, go into paint (using the short cut i got from system 32), then open the picture that way, it' not ideal, but I don't dare go near the add/remove program options, thats how i lost it in the first place. Edit: when i half uninstalled it, (however I manged to?), it didn't give any warnings and didn't appear in the recycle bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrocasilva Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 try removing it from the windows build in control panel in "add/remove programs" -> "add remove windows components" remove it and then install it again from there, bare in mind that it'll ask you for the windows XP cd.

Dragonsbane Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 try removing it from the windows build in control panel in "add/remove programs" -> "add remove windows components" remove it and then install it again from there, bare in mind that it'll ask you for the windows XP cd. No it shouldn't XP pre installs all windows data on the harddrive. It is not like ME or 98 where you have to put in your cd to get the files back. Just go to the control panel ==>add or remove programs ==> Add or remove Windows components.==> desktop accesories (or however it is called in english)==> if paint is not taggedthen tag it en press next or else untag it press next. when it is done restart XP go back and tag it again press next and voila you have a full working paint back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
