Are you suddenly receiving error messages when trying to open certain types of graphics files in Paint? And did these messages just happen to start popping up after you installed Microsoft Office 97? According to Microsoft, there's a conflict between Office's graphic import filters and Microsoft Paint.
To resolve these conflicts, you'll need to download the updated Microsoft Paint. You can download it right here from Microsoft's File Library (via FTP):
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/paint95.exe
Complete the download process and then move PAINT95.EXE into a new folder. Double-click PAINT95.EXE file to extract its contents. Copy MSPAINT.EXE to the Program Files\Accessories folder, copy the three .DLL files to the Windows\System folder, and restart Windows 95. (The included README.TXT file also contains these instructions.)
Your Paint troubles should now be solved.
