Solve : MS Paint? |
|
Answer» OK, please help!!! I had a folder of "unused desktop icons" paint was in there...I deleted the folder, and now my ms paint says it cannot be found! What do I do?!? :-?Clueboy12..... If you are using XP ....... click start /all programs /accessories .....then when the list of accessories is published , look and see if paint shows up ....if it does scroll to it and right click on it and select .... send to ....... Desktop (create short cut ) dl65 well i'm not that stupid! i checked there, it doesn't show up on the accessory list, it does however show up on the main start menu, (i USED to have a shortcut there) but when you click on it, it says paint cannot be found and when you send it to the desktop it says it cannot...Try this: Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. Go to Add/Remove Windows components. Find the Accessories and Utilities box at the top, and uncheck it, click next. The accessories are uninstalled. Then go back to Add/Remove Windows Components. Check the box and click next. Accessories will reinstall. Check to see if Paint is there again.Clueboy12......... LOL ........ Quote well i'm not that stupid! Excuse me , but I don't recall seeing anyone refering to you as "stupid" ....... Further to that , Quote well i'm not that stupid!If you had mentioned that in your post , the suggestion wouldn't have been offered. We arent mind readers here ...so we tend to offer the simplest solution first . dl65 He's right. Nobody's going to insult your intelligence - unless Mac comes around. But we've been trying to GET rid of him. There's no shame in asking for help. I ask for help a lot on the forum - ask anybody. But try what I OUTLINED in my above post - basically, a reinstallation of the Accessories. Too BAD it's not easier to access these options... anyway, let us know if it worked or failed.oh, no i didn't take it as an insult to my intellect, i was just saying that i'm not completely computer illiterate! Thanks dilbert, your uninstall and re-install instructions worked! Thanks!!! You're welcome. If you ever have any other questions/problems, do not hesitate to post. We'll be happy to help. |
