I dont know how to explain this but im going to keep it short.
I opened up the software paint, to edit a few images. All of the sudden there is no slider (the sliding bar on the right hand side & at the bottom).
Also i cant seem to cut a part of an image. And if i want to make the image smaller, i would use the mouse and drag the corner on the bottom right hand side of the box to get the box smaller with the image getting smaller - if you know what i mean.
I went to my friends house to use paint - his was working fine. I cannot seem to use it on mine, like i used to.

Uninstall and reinstall MS Paint in Windows XP
You require the Windows XP CD-ROM to reinstall the Windows components such as Paint
•Click Start, Run and type control appwiz.cpl,,2
(or, use Add/Remove Programs applet, Add/Remove Windows Components)
•Double-click Accessories and Utilities
•Double-click Accessories
•Uncheck Paint and click OK, OK.
•Click Next.
Windows will now uninstall Paint brush. Now, insert your Windows XP CD in the drive and repeat the above procedure, but enable the Paint entry in the 4th step and click Next. The required files are extracted from Windows XP CD-ROM and Paint is now reinstalled.

Thanks you've solved my problem. Paint now works how it used to. It seems your the only one who can solve my problem when it comes to application/software issues.
