Re: How to crop a photo in Paint

Thank you Yves for your reply, but It don't make the ears go away, If I put
the box around the photo and click "Cut" I can make the photo go away, but
putting it around the ears and cut, that don't make the ears go away either.

I am running a multiboot with Win. ME and Win. 2000. Scanner is HP Office
Jet K60 4 years old and it works perfect on those two OS. The ears only
appear on my new XP Pro. and they fill up the screen on both sides of the
photos.

-- I notice now that there is something called "Draw Opaque" on the Paint
menu I remove the checkmark on it and it seems to keep checking itself?

I appreciate your help and will be happy to try any other ideas you may have.
