Have you looked in C:\Windows\System32 ?


If you're sure it's not there..





Insert the Windows disk into your optical drive. A splash screen should automatically come up. Click Install, then choose the option to install only certain components. Make sure everything except Paint is unchecked. Click OK to reinstall Paint.





If you get an error message stating that Paint is already installed, go to Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Windows Components. Click Accessories and Utilities, then Details, then Accessories, then Details. Choose Paint from the list and uninstall it.





When Paint is installed properly, you should receive any updates to the program directly from Microsoft, as long as you have an active Internet conncetion. If you install Paint and it fails to run or runs poorly, try installing the latest Microsoft Paint update directly from the Microsoft Web site.How do i get Microsoft Paint back on Windows Vista ?
