    I dunno whay, but my pixels come out blured!

    EG. go full zoom in, press ctrl+g (to bring up grid) and use the pencil. Put one dot and it SHOULD go in betwenn the squares. If i do it, it goes on the lines and blurs into other squars, why does it do this???

    Sometimes it does this, sometimes it goes in the squaeres like normal, some please help me!

    What O/S are you using?
    I found this? Does it sound like your problem?

    You're still not telling us what O/S you're running? If it used to work properly before.....then I'd suggest you uninstall it.....then re-install from the Cd? Or perhaps try a different app, such as Irfanview?

    IrfanView is really an image viewer and it's editing capabilities are, therefore, quite limited.

    Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Paint?

    Click on the Windows Set up Tab
    Click on accessories
    Down on the bottom...click the details button
    Scroll down.......take the check mark out of paint
    Click Ok

    Then do the reverse....to re-install.

    Actually, that was BS! You should be able to reinstall paint irrespective of whether you have an OEM installation. Sorry!

    From an online dictionary:

    OEM software does not always include the same features as the original product.
