MS paint can't save different image format.

Ah.... You don't have any Filters for saving the other file types. When you un-installed Office, you removed the filters. These come standard with Office to allow graphic editing. I suspect since you say it was working until ACDSEE died, it must have export filters. I don't use it so you'll probably have to restore ACDSEE back to working order--Possibly an un-install then re-install.

i tried that actually. uninstalled acdsee, then reinstalled it but before all these happend, acdsee could convert image format to jpg, unfortunatly after corruption, i reinstalled and it only has few formats to convert to.

any ideas?

Re-install Office ?
I don't know anything about ACDSEE. You might try loading another image editor like IrfanView. It's full of filters and it's free. See if that restores links that MS Paint can use. Other than that, restore MS Office.

LOL REALLY? I thought infraview was a virus haha
already i will try that for now and hopefully paint wil let me save as bmp..

ahh sorry for bump but infanview isnt really what im looking for as a solution

i tried using it, it wont let me edit like mspaint can do and cant save image etc..

Thanks for the follow up. I know it WILL save images. I use it all the time to resize photos, etc. It wasn't meant to be a replacement for MS Paint. I was hoping that Paint could use the filters from it. Sorry.
