In Windows 98:
Start > Control Pannel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup ; Highlight Accessories then hit Details ; Unselect Paint ; Okay ; Will uninstall, then reverse the proccess.
Works like a charm

I have seen this problem before. I made some automated WinRAR SFXs to fix it, but have never given them out, so it looks a bif naff. The first one fixes Paint, the other you might need. I have attached them both inside a RAR archive.
Run MSPAINT.exe from inside the attached archive. If once you do this, you get a different error, this time regarding a DLL error, them install MSPAINT Fixer Package 2.
