The Paint.NET application used the built-in fonts which means the process of installing fonts is exactly the same as the default one in Windows. You should know that Paint.NET only works with TrueType Fonts (.ttf files) and not with OTF (Open Type Fonts). Even if you can install OTF files, they won't be available for using in Paint.NET. Download the fonts and then go to Start > Run > fonts. Drag and drop the TTF files in the window that will open and then restart Paint.NET. You can select the fonts after you activate the Text tool to type something.

You can find the list of the program's photo effects together with the complete description of its menu by accessing the developer's website. Each effect and menu has a tiny description and examples of use but more detailed description of the use of these functions can't be made as this is a creative software and each user has its own ways to use them.
I downloaded Paint.NET 3.36 without issues. I tried to open it yesterday and it suggested me to download a newer version. I clicked OK and it started to download, but then it stopped saying that there are some missing files. I want to completely remove the application so I can install the new one. I have Windows Vista as operating system. Can you help?

Software Informer provides updates to the installed application. It doesn't detect your installed operating system to provide updates based on these requirements. Whenever there is an update for one of the applications installed, you should be notified. To stop this notification, click the application in Software Informer then right click it and select Ignore this update and you shouldn't be prompted to update again. Use the image below to see exactly.
The update says it's for Windows 7 SP1, but I'm running Vista. Why am I getting an "Update" notice?

It doesn't matter if it's for Windows 7 SP1 because it will also work for you. These updates aren't released just for one version of Windows. You can apply the update every time there is one notifying you. Keeping the software updated ensures that you have latest features and bug fixes.

Robert Polubinski
There are two ways you can use to create an animated GIF. Keep in mind that a GIF uses frames and you will need many frames if you want a complex animation.
Use a plug-in called Paint.NET Animated Gif Plugin. Load the plug-in, add the pictures and then you can use it to export to GIF.
Create Frame1, Frame2, Frame3, Frame4, Frame5, etc and join all of them in successive order using an application called UnFREEz.

In order to fix the issue, delete the installation package and download the latest version of the software. After that, extract the installer using WinRAR or WinZip and install the software following the self-explaining instructions.
If it is still opening in Notepad, go to Start, type cmd and open the application using Administrator rights. Type cd\windows, press Enter, type regedit and press again the Enter key. Locate the .exe folder in the HKEY-CLASSES-ROOT, double click the Default entry and change its value to exefile. Next, scroll down to exefile entry and go to shell > open > command, double click the Default file and enter **"%1" %*** as value. After you exit the Registry Editor, reboot your PC.
If the problem is not solved, navigate to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Default Programs, select Notepad from the list and click Choose defaults for this program. Un-ckeck the .exe and .msi extension, click Save and restart your computer.
