February 22, 200620 yr Wasn't sure where to post this, But I figured you guys new more about paint than any technical wiz so I'm posting it here. Problem Paint seems to have crashed while in the process of saving it. This was not a computer fault though as there was also an error message from microsoft. I ended up losing some quick but also very useful work I was doing. Although it has stopped now I was wondering. Has anyone else had this problem? ~ Thanks ~ Lemonfish
February 22, 200620 yr If it said that "it has to be closed" and that you can send an error report, that seems to happen to me with a variety of programs. If paint was all that you were using it wouldn't happen that often, compared to if you have 3 internet windows up, loading a page, and you're working with photoshop or something. Other than that, I have no clue. I guess you should just save more often and see if it happens again in the future.

I know it happens to a lot of programs however I wouldn't have thought there would be an error as such in such a basic program. The error happen first time I saved
February 22, 200620 yr I moved this to Tech and Computers, maybe a better place to find what's going on. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art
February 23, 200620 yr It was most likely a memory read/write error if it was a one time thing. I wouldnt much worry about it if it has stopped occuring. Computers lag , files crash :( I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear
February 23, 200620 yr Author wasn't much lag at the time and I keep on getting quite a few with internet explorer and firefox

The error happen first time I saved Well, some possibilities: -You are infexted by ad/mal/spyware - There are some harmull threads working on the background that makes some programs crashs, such as paint, the simplest program of images... - Try to save in another extension - Don run many prgrams at once while painting! I cant think much further now.... ~komodo
