Hello again
I went to this recommended site:
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000758.htm but I am ahead of them.
I mentioned that I went to ADD/REMOVE and then to the window part and
deleted the PAINT from there. I recycled the machine and checked if any part
of Paint remain but it was all gone even the icons from the accessories
section.
On re-installation it asked me for the disc. I did, and it re-installed
Paint again, After recycling the machine paint was there but with the same
defect of canvas at default size and can't be changed.
I repeated this process twice with the same disappointment.
Again, XP PRO and all its parts work just fine. I even installed few other
programs ( Quicken, Symantec, etc) that were there before the formatting and
they all work fine except paint.
Thanks for your time
