Problem: Reinstalling MS Paint

[yllek]

Hi,

As trivial as it sounds, MS Paint seems to have disappeared from my computer. Although it's only a very basic Graphics Editor, I would still find it highly useful to get it back.

To cut a long story short, I recently tried to remove Internet Explorer from my new laptop (as I've always run FireFox since its release).

I've done it this way before. To remove it, I went into the Control Panel, 'Add/Remove Hardware', then 'Add/Remove Windows Components'. I checked Internet Explorer, clicked next and just followed it through.

I restarted my computer and found Internet Explorer gone. I went to use MS Paint, and found that also had vanished, along with a set of Plus! screensavers that came with the computer; this made me feel quite bitter.

Since then, I clicked a link in MSN and Internet Explorer opened it. Thus I am assuming IE is still on my system. Paint and the screensavers are still missing.

The screensavers don't bother me too much, but I would like MS Paint back.
If anyone can offer any help, I would be much obliged.
If anyone can help get the screensavers back (or find a way to get the Aquarium one to me, as I'm rather fond of its therapeutic effects, lol!!!) I would also be much obliged, but the MS Paint dilema is most pressing.

Thank you very much,

Ben

Go back into windows components, and double check that everything that want want is checked. Paint is a windows compnent program. Not to mention the fact, even if you delete IE browser, you will not gain any ammount of space from removing it.
