RE: Paint Seems Corrupted - Often Won't Open & Interferes with Shutdow

I've got the same problem on an IBM T43p, re-booting brings it back but I
have to completely repeat all the steps that I was intending to use paint
for. I've sent hundreds of Error Reports to Microsoft. I sepnd more time
sending Error Reports than I do running useful applications . . .
