I recently installed Windows 7 and Photoshop and I have no idea how to use 7Paint or PS.

Is there any way I could install XP paint or Vista paint?


I remember someone posting something about this before but i cba to find it.

Thanks

There you go, although It's not too hard to find everything in win7 paint toung.gif

Thanks! But there is one glitch, I can't save any files with that paint.

Weird, it just worked perfectly for me. Though I was just running the .exe straight from the downloads folder, try just using it from the desktop instead of putting it in the system32 folder?

Hmm, very weird.

I keep getting this message:

"Paint cannot save this file. Save was interrupted, so your file has not been saved."

I tried the http://zach-weber.com/2010/08/11/rl-hack-replace-the-windows-7-paint-with-xpvista-paint/ and I received the "unable to create new document" message.

*f.y.i.: I'm not a computer noob, but this stuff just seems weird.

haha toung.gif maybe that other version only works on 32bit

Posted by: ChevyRacer454 Jun 20 2011, 05:19 AM

probably, XP and Vista where only 32 and they have 86bit now gasp.gif

just an fyi, x86 is 32 bit. Don't ask why its called x86 cuz I have no idea. lol, I think the processor architecture is called x86.

XP and Vista also had 64bit verisons toung.gif

The term x86 is just to seperate 32bit software on newer computers which mostly use 64bit, as 64bit is just x86-64, an extension of x86-32, which was an extension of x86-16. It's pretty complicated xd.gif so x86 generally refers only to 32bit software as 16bit is redundant.
