Re: MS Paint problems

If you were working on the original and have no backups and attempted to overwrite the original and crashed it due to lack of space, then you probably are out of luck. You could try a file undelete program, but I'm betting the the partial overwrite has pretty much ruled that out as being successful.

Hi...Similar problems.

Was working on a rather large bmp file in paint, tried to save, received the error message about running out of space, after several unsuccessful machinations, the application froze and I had to forcibly turn off my computer. Once turned back on, the file is gone...completely gone. No previous versions of it (saved several times before at other times), nothing.

I was able to find a shortcut to it in system files at the time of the problem, however it leads to a target that is no longer there. Is the file permanently lost? Anyway to retrieve it? I'd even be happier with a previous version of it.

Thanks.

Have been struggling for months with MS Paint opening painfully slowly. If I open now it takes at least 10 minutes to open hard drive goes mad and every application is affected you may as well go and make dinner while it sorts itself out.

Then over the past couple of weeks Office Picture Manager started to do the same thing but after looking at this forum found that by deleting the associated .cag file hey presto its back to normal.

Is the problem the same in MS paint and if so where do I find its associated catalogue file?

Your problem can be the cause of many things:
1- Not enough Disk Space
2- Not enough/Bad RAM
3- Bad/Damaged Applications
4- Blowated and infected system with malware and viruse and you need to do your house cleaning!
