    ok, so i've replaced my xp desktop with a laptop with windows 7. windows 7 is great, don't get me wrong, but new MS paint is unbelievably meh in contrast to paint xp. Is there a safe download for XP paint on the net? or will i have to say goodbye to it completely? please help, i'm devastated without it.

    MS paint on Windows 7 is much better IMO it has much more features like image cropping etc..

    That's easy to sort johnROSS ;)

    Simply get to any XP machine and go to C:Windows\System32 & locate the file "mspaint.exe", copy it to a pendrive and move it to your Win7 laptop. It works fine on Win7 too.
