In all my years of breaking windows applications, I've yet to see anyone who managed to break paint!
Where to begin?! Firstly, I presume that either your computer is old and starting to fall apart, or you've tried to install an operating system that your computer just can't handle.
Perhaps it's time to backup your data and reformat your hard drive as for such a simple application to fail must indicate that somethings wrong, and even if you deleted a file by mistake, then it's in the Windows directory so who knows what else is missing?
If your computer is always on, try switching it off for 30 mins and giving it a chance to recover.
If that doesn't work try the following steps...
Go to 'Start', then 'Settings', then 'Control Panel'
in the 'Control Panel' go to 'Add or Remove Programs'
In the 'Add or Remove Programs' window click on 'Add / Remove Windows Components'
When the 'Windows Component Wizard' opens, highlight the 'Accessories and Utilities' then click details. A new window will open.
Highlight 'Accessories' and then click details.
Be sure that 'Paint' has a check mark by it. If is does not, check it and click okay. If it does have a check mark, uncheck it then check it again and click okay (this will force it to reload again).
Click okay in the next window, and okay in the next, and then 'Next' in the wizard. It will start to load your settings. Click finsished when it completes. Sometimes it may require the Operating System disk, but most of the time it will not.

Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, try deleting paint off of your computer, and then redownloading it.
