coltm4carbine Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well, um I think u'll need to reply to that thread with a hjt log - since u don't know the toolbar you have. by vanished what do you mean? can you still see it if you went to Start -> All programs -> accessories ?

Anesthesia Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 If you use a more descriptive title in the future you might be able to expect more help. Try going to start > run Then type: %SystemRoot%\System32\mspaint[Caution: ExecutableFile] Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

Girly Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 "Strangely Vanished" is abit of a vague term. Can you be more specific? If you mean that the Shortcut icon has been removed from your desktop, then try look in the 'Accessories' tab in the Programs menu. If it isn't there, then go to: 'My Computer>Local Disc (C:)>WINDOWS>Sys32 (Also sometimes called System32 depending on your windows version)'. You should be able to find the program lurking around in there called MSPaint, if not then i'm not too sure about what you'll have to do about it.

nomar04 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 mabye if u do a repair using the windows disc that'll work, or even reinstall windows if u really want paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGoof Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Do you have multiple users on one computer? Another person may have installed a toolbar or deleted MSPaint. (40 crafting, 40 range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman247m Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 The problem with paint might be that someone unknowingly removed it with the "Disk Cleanup." When you run that utility, there are extra options available that lets you removed un-needed windows components. To put it back, you need to use the windows disk, and do a repair :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinslayer777 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 There are multiple threads asking about ms paint with solutions... :-w ...search button... However, your problem obviously might have something to do with the toolbar and then redownloading it might be mute if it'll disappear again.

BlueLancer Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Start -> Run -> Write mspaint -> Problem solved 8-) If that doesn't work, which I doubt, your MS paint is 'really' missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmser Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Start -> Run -> Write mspaint -> Problem solved 8-) If that doesn't work, which I doubt, your MS paint is 'really' missing. You haven't read the topic, have you? Its been suggested twice already and the TS replied with 'aint working'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Wow, as if those replies were invicible (though I was tired) :shock: Good catch Vmser. Try this, it can work even if you don't have your Windows installation disk: Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs -> Add/Remove Windows components -> Accessories & Utilities (Accessories), and add Paint. Hopefully that one works. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmser Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Or if you cant find it there, so Configuration screen / Software. It should list the installed programs, but on the left you should find buttons to install/remove windows components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
