Hello Bro, 8)
Here is what you wanted. ;)
download.microsoft.com/download/winntwks40/paint/1/nt4/en-us/paintnt.exe
Thanks BLADESHARK.
I will need this, can't believe MS messed with Paint again.
Didn't they learn from Win 3 ?

Run it in
Compatibility Mode - Use it with Windows XP or Win 7 32 bits. ;)
It seems like you are running Win 7 64 bits, are you ? ???

Shadow - what paint program did you say you were having a problem with? Windows 7 includes one (which I never use), plus there are tons and tons of paint and photo-editing software out there.

open the "RUN" menu then type mspaint.exe that one im reffering to. I got photoshop legal full license, but it takes a while to be opened, which is annoying when you need to take another screenshot soon after. Or if you are simply going to paint i dont find.
The integraded 7, i want to revert it back to XP's.

MS Paint is better than Adobe Photoshop
I don't say this the critics say it. :)
Now this should work Shadow.97 8)
http://www.mspaintxp.com/paint.exe
This has Compatibility for Both 32 & 64 Bits of Windows 7.
I will be waiting for your reply. :)

Regarding to Screenshots:
For ME ;) - I just press the Print Screen button on my keyboard and then go to Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2010 and paste it and then crop,edit,etc,etc and then save it.

Thank you once again! Works flawless so far. The only thing i didnt really like was that my browser shut down when i installed it, and i think it had another program with it(?) that i dont know what it is.
The reason why i dont use something more advanced is that you just cant open program quicky paste picture and then save, it takes so long time to open the other programs ive tested.
Everyone has their own tastes of Computing Bro. :)

I'm not too big on paint and photoediting programs because if I photoedit at all, it's simply to remove or add something, or crop the picture. What I wonder is what hard facts do the critics base their opinions on when they say MSPaint is better than Photoshop. I don't always listen to the critics. For example, on PC World they rated Chrome as the top browser and Firefox 2nd. Having tested both, I couldn't disagree more. It would take me a while to sit here and type away the reasons for my opinion, but my point is what critics say is by no means law, at least in my book.

MSPaint is better than Photoshop
regarding the
UI and
less resource consumption and the
load on the processor.

Same as me. But I do pay some
attention in the will of getting some new knowledge about the programs. It is very interesting.

Mozilla is best.(http://www.pixieplots.co.nz/forum/images/smilies/thumbup.gif)
*Late reply* 6Gb DDR3 ram, thinking of maybe buying another stick, as i always use more than 5gb ram T__T (Video editing/Photoshop and games at the same time, lazy to shut them down)

Very true, but this logic applies to just about everything. XP (for example) uses far less resources on the system that Windows 7, but then even computers built 3-4 years ago have sufficient resources to run Win 7 effectively. Both hardware and software will get stronger almost by the day.

It's not that I don't pay critics any attention whatsoever. Very often they point out things I'm simply not aware of. Better yet, if they believe program A is better than program B, many times they'll say why, which interests me the most. Mostly what I intended to say is simply that their opinion may not always agree with mine, and I often think it's just a question of favoring one configuration over another. I have yet to see 2 identical computer configurations.

@humbert 8)

Well, I try to stay updated by doing such things as subscribing to PC World, getting the latest Windows updates, and when I check what's available on the torrents, most of what I get is newer versions of stuff I already have. There no specific site that has all the answers, in a way it's a combination of many.
Have you gotten your claws on Firefox 12 -- the release, available on Mozilla's site? So far it hasn't crashed on me (11 did a few times). Another thing I like is that when using the InstantFox search engine add on, your searches appear on a small, semi-transparent windows as opposed to taking up the whole page as on FF 11. There may be some other things I haven't run into yet, but so far I like it.
Yeah I am trying Firefox 12 :)
I have already sent a feedback to them ;)
In Firefox 11
I face a problem: :(
When I press the Ctrl & then press a link, it kind of freezes for about 5-10 secs & then the new tab is opened
I guess why it has to freeze
Older versions did not freeze
Note: I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit OEM'd by DELL
In Windows XP I don't have the same problem. :-\
I use Aurora 13.02(?) :) (firefox)

I assume this was what the feedback you sent them was all about. I haven't run into that bug yet because I, using the Menu Editor and Tab Mix Plus add-ons, configured it in such a way that when I close in on a link and right click, a menu comes up. Two options are "Open Link in this Tab" and "Open Link in another Tab". Using this, I've yet run into the problem you're mentioning. By all means if there is a fix, kindly post it for us, I'd like to know.
Hey I am trying Aurora (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-love008.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
I really think its fast and very efficient.

Is this the latest version on the FTP site, which I've got bookmarked someplace? Here's the kicker -- how compatible is it with the add-ons you've got installed? There are several add-ons I have which I simply can't live without. This not to even mention Roboform (my PW manager), which must be compatible or I simply won't be able to log into the many sites I've collected over the years.
One of these days I'm going to review what's in there and throw out the probably hundreds of dead links.

i never had any compability problems with it, back up with moz and try??

Yeah it is compatible with add-on,
not sure bcoz I don't use any add-on except for the theme extensions.
And do you remember the problem which I was facing with Fastfox 11, now that problem has seemed to vanish with Aurora.

Might not be such a bad idea after all.
BTW, I've got an issue with Firefox that I believe might be caused by InstantFox add-on, i.e., the one that eliminates the search bar and allows you to use the navigation bar for search, preceeding your query with (for example) g for Google, w for Wikipedia, y for Yahoo, etc. When I do a search like this, I get a prompt to download a json file. I did some searching on Google and there were suggestions to add some Firefox json add-ons, but so far none have solved the problem. Any ideas?
There is also a free, open source program called paint.net. I use it all the time.
