Why Windows Paint is suspended from animation

Although there are many software that can edit pictures later, I still like to use the drawing program with Windows when I paste screen capture and save BMP file as JPG format. However, in the use of paint program has encountered a strange problem: when you want to save the picture, as long as the designated save location and filename, click the "Save" button will appear paint program no response, can only force the end of the process, thus causing the paint program does not work!

What the hell is going on here? The author also really first met, so "the search Chang, scraping belly" to find the paint program "suspended animation" the real reason ...

Try one: is "canvas" too big?

Specific operation: Open the Paint program, click on "Image/Properties", in the pop-up dialog box to see the "width", "height" of the value is set very large. For insurance purposes, click "Default value" to restore it to the default state of the system. Try to save the file again, and the failure remains.

Action reason: This dialog box is set to the default canvas size after you open paint, which is the size of the self color area in the Paint program's main interface. Because each time you start the Paint program, the system will be based on the default canvas size in the system memory in advance to partition the corresponding storage space, if the number of inadvertently fill out the value is very large, and the system memory is very small, will appear memory space is occupied and appear suspended animation!

Try two: the location of the Custom Common dialog box is incorrect?

Specific operation: Run TweakUI, click "Common dialog box/position block", click on the right side of the window "show the default location", OK. Open the program, try to save the file to the desktop, the problem is still unresolved.

Rationale: For ease of use, many people like to modify the location of the "common dialog" and replace it with a directory or folder that they use frequently. However, if you specify a location that is located on a network drive or where the system thinks it is "illegal", when you want to open or save a file from these places, you will not be able to locate the target face with suspended animation. Since I previously modified the location in the common dialog box, I now try to revert to the default state. In addition, although you can modify the common dialog box through Group Policy, but it is not easy to set the path location memory, and XP Home version users can not use Group Policy, so the TweakUI to solve, if directly modify the registry is more cumbersome.

Try three: Paint main program is damaged by virus?

Specific actions: Update Kaspersky 7.0 's virus library, a thorough scan of the system did not find the virus, but the idea of holding a try, in turn into the Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/Add, remove Windows Components under the Windows Components Wizard interface, in the list, in turn, enter the Accessories and Tools/details/Accessories/details, cancel the "paint" check, "OK" after it uninstall: and then into the same position, check "paint" after the "OK" to complete the reinstall. Note: This process may require you to insert the Windows System installation CD.

Operating reasons: Usually, we use a program if it does not work, will generally use the uninstall after the installation method to try to solve.
