PAINT won't work:

-----Original Message-----
Suddenly My MICROSOFT PAINT program won't work, Even
though it is part of WINDOWS XP, doing a "Search" will
not locate it.

My BELARC ADVISOR, My NORTON ANTI-VIRUS, My SPYBOT
SEARCH & DESTROY and My GO-BACK will not help.

I get the same old 'canned' response; "Paint has
encountered a problem and needs to close."

Whenever I click to see what data that error report
contains, I get the following;
Error Signature
AppName: mspaint.exe
AppVer: 5.1.2600.1106
ModName: mfc42u.dll
ModVer: 6.0.8665.0
Offset: 00017103
The following files will be included in this error
report:
C:\DOCUME~1\default\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8D.tmp.dir 00
\appcompat.txt

How do I get My PAINT back? I have came to rely on
many
of it's features when using it with My PHOTO SUITE and
other photo editing programs.

I have tried ALL of the above suggestions - PAINT still
will not work - Same story - same 'canned' "Report and
Send" error message.
