No problemo

Yes, overlaying looks perfect. As for the second one, the edges didn't smooth when you resized it? You doubled it in Paint, then put it in Word, then used print screen to move it back? Are you sure you didn't skip a step? And if you resized one of them in the wrong program, that might've caused a problem.

I'm pretty positive I did it right...could it be the fact that I have Vista and an LCD monitor?
I don't know what the latter would have to do with anything, but hey, just throwing it out there.

What's wrong with it? What's not working?

Not even opening.

- Go to Control panel--->Add or remove programs

- Now on the left, there are 4 boxes, click the 3rd, "Add/remove windows components"

- Uncheck and then check the first option "Accesories and utilities"

- Click "Next" and let it install. MS Paint should run now.

Try it out and let me know.

Oh, I thought this was on your own computer.

Of, so i got Sr. Admin to come and do this and it said : mspaint~~~~ could not be found at ~~~~/windows

<('-')>
*Kirby hugs Flavoi*

Well, i have access to another Paint if it helps, but i cant get images off of it...

Oh, sorry. Please, someone murder me next time I disappear like that.

Flavoi: What do you mean about can't get images off of it? Like, you aren't allowed to save things on that computer?

Mini-Link: (Sorry for disappearing.) Uh, still haven't managed to figure out why the edges of that last picture wouldn't blur. So let's give up on that. Here's a challenge for you. See if you can take what you know about overlaying images and use it to overlay a normal line of text. (No pixel fonts or anything like that, just normal text.)

Again, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I've been sick (as always) and school work builds up, and my school schedule for next year just got destroyed. So between various things, I forgot to post here. Sorry.

Its a 95 computer with no USB, CD drive or internet... So, while i try to fix paint, i cant do much >.<

I'll try.

It gave me time to use my MSPaint talents for other things.


Well, Falvoi...I really don't know what to tell you...

...
I should have chosen a different color the font...

I hate being fast, because then I feel like I'm shoving it in faces...

Flavoi - No, I doubt that would help. Obviously because you wouldn't be able to share what you had made on here, but also because I'd assume a windows 95 would be incredibly slow and painful to do anything with.

Mini-Link - Good job! And being fast is good. The only problem with it is that it means I fall behind. Hmm... I would give you the mirror tutorial, but you're on Vista, so it's kinda pointless... hmm. Just for the fun of it, let's swap over to spriting. I'll throw together a tutorial on recoloring. And please yell at me if it's not up within the next two days.

Ok.

Damn... Falvoi, I really wish I could help...somehow. Could you just get an upgrade CD and upgrade to XP or something? It's cheaper than buying a whole new computer...the downside is everything not in "My Documents" gets deleted...


These techniques are awesome! Here are some of what I've done for my friends with it:

Ok guys, my computer really hates me now. When i tried to install Virtual box, it said windows installer wasnt installed right. Then i re-enabled windows installer, and i tried to install 8 things at the same time, resulting in a crash. So, for right now i am stuck. (easter egg: i downloaded gimp / )

Uh, if you're still gonna try to get Paint working, I suggest you find someone who's actually good with computers, and get them to take a look at it for you. Or, if you're planning to start use Gimp, you should probably move to Hyrule's homeroom. Paint and Gimp work completely differently, so if you're using a different program, this place won't do you much good.

Mini-Link: You know, I'm alot more likely to notice when you give updates if you just go ahead and double post, rather then editting. Cool idea with using things in Paint for an actually practical application.

And... I was working on a tutorial to give to you... but then I got buried in Pre-calc homework. And this computer's been being stupid. And now my head is spinning too much to play with pixels. So I'll get it up eventually. Again, I'm sorry that I'm falling behind with this place. But I haven't forgotten. I've just been buried under school work.

I'm patient. LoL.

Pre-calc

Yuck yuck yuck.
I could have taken Pre-Calc, but I decided to take Consumer's Math instead.

Please teach me to make awesome Signatures!
