What exactly did you do?
Do you mean you opened Paint with Wordpad and deleted some text?
Or something else ENTIRELY? Quote

Yes, that is exactly what I did.  Can I ask why?
And I suppose you saved it too?
Do you have a Windows CD? Quote

I was curious.
I didnt save it.
No, my Windows came with my PC.I've done it too, but not with Paint.
If you didn't save it, it should be fine, no changes should've been made.
You say nothing happens . . . did it work OK before?What version of Windows ? ?
Did you RECIEVE any Recovery CD's with this machine ? ?

The more info you provide the faster we can arrive at a resolution.

Guessing is time consuming... Quote

I thought you meant by save as save paint on a disc, but now I realized you meant if I saved the wordpad. Yes I saved it.

Yes, that's what I meant.
In that case, it's likely that paint wouldn't work any more.
I'm not sure how to undo this, and I also don't think you can download it, I checked the MS SITE for you.
Are you very attached to Paint?Yes, i need it to save screenshotsWell, I'm not sure how to fix this.
Hopefully someone else can advise you.
However, if it can't be done, or you feel it's easier, try out some of the software recommended here, under Graphics.
I can heartily recommend Paint.NET and the GIMP.
You could use them to save screenshots instead of MS paint if necessary.
Hope you get round it one way or another anyway, and sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.You could probably just REPLACE mspaint.exe from another computer with the same version. Quote
