I don't know what happened to my MS Paint program. Plus my PRTSCR key must not be working as when I try to paste from clipboard, everything is greyed out, at least in Photoshop 7 and 6, and Ctl V doesn't do anything either. Oh well!

Sounds like what happened to me: http://forums.techguy.org/t354136.html

If you have Microsoft Windows XP auto-update and installed update number KB893066 try uninstalling it. There also is a patch available, but I have not tried it.

Thanks Dobiejr, wish it were that easy but I'm running WinMe.

Hi zkhul the image I posted in post #14, I took using the prt scr button. I pasted it in Irfanview than selected the area I wanted to save and copied it into MSPaint where I saved it as a .jpg. This can all be done in Irfanview but I like to keep a copy of the original available in Irfanview until I am done.

I right clicked on a Word document on my Desktop.
When you right click on a file on your Desktop, do you have a context menu at all?

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserAccount\SendTo
Tell me if your directories are different, you might do a Search for Send To if they are.

What shortcuts do you have in that directory?

You can download Irfanview here it's freeware:

Is MSPaint not working for you now, or has it disappeared?
Check in Add/Remove programs under Add/Remove Windows Components > Accessories and Utilites > Details > Accessories > Details and verify Paint is checked.
You might try uninstalling Paint and reinstalling Paint or Vice Versa...

I have irfanview, but its edit - Paste is greyed out like all the other image programs.

I don't have a documents and settings program in C:

I have C:\Windows\Sendto. I don't know if Prt Scr works, for when I press the button, and try to paste it somewhere, nothing pastes. Everything is greyed out.

I installed Mspaint from Add/Remove -Windows setup. Have to reboot now to make it functional. Will be back in a few. But first the drop down menu, when I click "sendto" contains:

3 1/2 Floppy (A)
Desktop (Create Shortcut)
DirectCD Drive (E)
Mail Recipient.MAPIMAIL
My digital camera
My documents
Skype
web publishing wizard

When I click Mail recipient, nothing happens. Even when I click the mail icon in my
Explorer bar at top, the only thing that works is "read mail". (Thank goodness)

I got the screenshot, but don't see where to paste it here. I typed it manually in last post. Oh there's the link: "Enter text to be formatted?" What's up with that?

Here is the screenshot.

Take a look in your SendTo directory.

Does your MailRecipient file look similar to mine?
Look for the size of the file: 0 kb and for: MAPIMAIL File under the Type column.

Your picture is fuzzy, but if I interpret it correctly, your file is named MailRecipient.MAPIMAIL.
I renamed mine to the same and tried it with no problems, so the name of the file is probably not the problem.

[EAFiedler]

Take a look in your Registry for these keys:
Do you have similar keys?

• HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.MAPIMail
  (Default) with a value of CLSID\{9E56BE60-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileEx ts\.MAPIMail
  (Default) value not set

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.MAPIMail
  (Default) with a value of CLSID\{9E56BE60-C50F-11CF-9A2C-00A0C90A90CE}

Run through the steps in this link:
Send To Mail Recipient option does nothing

Let us know what you find.

Here goes again: I've been to that page twice and followed those steps. Everything in registry was as it was supposed to be. I followed the other steps and there was no change.

My Mail Recipient file in sento folder is as yours except the icon is as in the above screenshot, and yours is blue. My type is MapiMail, while yours is MapiMail file. How can I change the type to add the word "file", or would it make a difference. Finally, my sendto is in C:\ I have no Documents and Settings folder at all and I just reinstalled Winme this AM.

[EAFiedler]

The file at the end of MAPIMAIL may just be a variation between operating systems.

Also, normally, when I reply to a message, I click the Preview Post button to see how the post will appear before I click Submit Reply. Just makes it easier for me.

Did you check the Registry keys that I posted in post #26?

Since you have reinstalled Windows ME, have you been to the Windows Update site to download the Internet Explorer update?
What version of Internet Explorer did Windows Me come with? Just curious.
