How can I make a really cool background or layout WITHOUT adobe photoshop, or paintshop pro? All i have is the crappy paint that comes with our computer. I can't download new products because our computer is like 10 years old.

One layout I love to do with paint is to make stripes. Just use the pen tool to make long vertical stripes. You can make them the same size, different sizes, anything you want! It's all up to you, and it looks pretty good, too. [ Splitzy's advice column | Ask Splitzy A Question ]

If you know how to change the colors (double click the colors on the tool pallet), then you can create something with more than, I think, 28 colors. It would take more time and hard work than on something more avdanced to create graphics, but yours wont be, shall I say, 'crappy'. I know you could make pixel-ish graphics very nicely on paint, because it is more basic and you can edit 'the little things' more nicely.
Hope I helped, and deffinately feel free to email me with any more questions.
