Man... I wanna try Windows 7.

[RMX]

Yeah, I want to check out the new Paint

[Acid]

Paint should take some features from Oekaki.

Actually... a Layer function would be enough. Man that would rock.

[Flame]

It would. It really would.

[Rockmon]

[tornado fang] the new paint, just use paint.net or the gimp

[Flame]

LIES AND SLANDER. MS PAINT ROCKS.

[Rockmon]

but paint.net and gimp are like free photoshop

Man... I wanna try Windows 7.

This and badly. Sadly, I don't have a computer that would run it efficiently right now.

There are people who can do more in Paint than others can ever dream to achieve with PS.

[Rockmon]

That's a great way to shade black stuff.

Gotta try that sometime.

In the oekaki board there's an red x on the top left that means there's something wrong with the applet. I installed the latest version of Java but it doesn't work. Can anyone help?

well I ran it on a shitty emachines with a motherboard based videocard, a sub 2 ghz celeron, and 512 mb ram, and it ran quite well.

Does anyone here no how to resolve an ip conflict, I cannot to the network without there being a conflict between the IP Addresses of my computer and other computers especially with the the router going screwy. 

[RMX]

If you have an IP conflict that's because your router doesn't automatically assign them, which means each computer has had its set manually and two or more have the same internal IP. In XP:

- Go to Network Connections
- Right click on the connection > Properties
- Double click on TCP/IP

You should have something like this


In the "IP Address:" field make sure all your computers have a number like 192.168.1.XXX, XXX being different for each computer and a number between 1 and 255

MSPaint has too many tools as is. I mean seriously, who uses the shape tools? I just make my circles and squares using the line and pencil tools. The spray can is useless, real men make their own randomized pixel clouds with the pencil tool. Text? I make my own.

All I really need is the pencil tool.

[Flame]

well, i use the circle tool. that i do, adn i usually use the paintbrush and line tool. I dont like the pencil tool for some odd reason.
I dont use the box tool, that polygon tool, or the spraypaint tool.
though a layer option wouild be great.

[RMX]

A bigger pallete would be cool.

[Rabid Golf Cart]

A bigger pallete would be cool.

what, 28 different colours of your choosing isn't enough?

I rarely use over 8.

[Solar]

For some reason, every time I want to save in Microsoft Word 2007, the program crashes. Help?

[Quickman]

The first suggestion that comes to mind?  Reinstall the program.  Or uninstall it and get Open Office.  Seems like a bug in the software to me.

^Did someone answer my question yet?

[Shiki Tohno]

Make sure Java's enabled; if it is, clear your cache and try doing a forced refresh (Ctrl+F5).


If this doesn't solve it, no idea. I've never really dealt with the Oekaki board before.

EDIT: problem seems to be solved now.
