Wrong language in paint

Hi, in MS paint all the text(dialog boxs, buttons, toolbars) is in german, this is the only program like it.

 

all files in a certain user all file lost their owner, after that was fixed, the language for every user changed to german, and no language packs have been installed.

 

yes, everything is set to english, and all other programs use english

 

Can you uninstall mspaint and reinstall it using the xp cd? This is done via the add/remove program icon in the control panel and using the windows componenets tab.

If that doesn't work I ran across this:

This happens if the file MFC42LOC.DLL is present in the System32 folder. To resolve the problem, rename the file MFC42LOC.DLL present in the C:\Windows\System32 folder (for Windows 2000/XP systems) and C:\Windows\System (for Windows 9x systems)

 

thanks goddez1, i renamed the file, and everything is fine now
