August 23, 201411 yr Lost my 85 mining pic because paint froze when I hit save after naming the file. Windows 7 btw
August 23, 201411 yr Aww, I'm sorry. Did you try re-opening paint again and maybe pasting another printscreen to see if it still happens or if it was an unfortunate fluke? If so maybe there are other free programs you could try. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for." Can games be art? --- My blog here if you want to check out my Times articles and other writings! I always appreciate comments/feedback.
August 23, 201411 yr It depends a lot on the error message you're getting, but some quick research suggests that you can solve like 99% of ms paint's problems by reinstalling it
August 24, 201411 yr Author It completely freezes to the point where I don't get an error message even. I'll try reinstalling.
August 24, 201411 yr Author Ok I have no idea how to reinstall paint, apparently. Where the hell do i download it?
August 24, 201411 yr Worth reading: http://superuser.com/questions/378296/windows-7-save-dialog-hang-any-solutions Just do a google search for ms paint windows 7 and there should be some download links. I don't really want to post any links because I don't need that liability.

I don't really want to post any links because I don't need that liability.I read that, and have no idea how to use the ShellExView, and don't want to mess my computer up. I googled looking for a download for it, all I saw was guides on how to use it. Sorry for your lost pic. Here, you can have mine :) That was so very helpful... EDIT it also crashes when I try using Paint.Net
September 7, 201411 yr MS Paint comes as a standalone executable. If you're downloading anything other than paint[Caution: Executable File], you're downloading the wrong thing. I can guarantee that "windows 7 ms paint download" will give you a good result in the first few results. Do other programs (such as notepad, ms word, etc) crash when saving?
September 9, 201411 yr If all you want to do is save a screenshot, then you can simply print screen and then paste that directly onto imgur, where it can be uploaded (and saved to your hard drive if you wish)
September 14, 201411 yr Does this only happen with Paint with you? On my computer, any program will occasionally crash when I try to save >_>

September 18, 201411 yr I had a similar issue before on a previous computer. It was another program that was using too much allocation of cpu that prevented the saving and eventually the opening of MSpaint to happen. I would try to check your start programs and also to go through running processes that are saying the user itself is running them. Have you been experiencing issues with any MS programs? Or programs loading in general apart of MS paint? RT | Tumblr | AL
