When I try to open MS Paint, I get an error message:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\mspaint.exe
Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory was completed.
How do I correct this?
Thank you!

MS Paint is not an Office product and you should post to a newsgroup
for your operating system but try this:

Have a look here:
Err Msg: MSPAINT Caused an Invalid Page Fault... [Q185501]
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=185501
I have found that 95% of problems with MSPaint are fixed by this
reference:

To resolve this problem, use registry editor to delete the following
registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Applets\Paint

This registry key is rebuilt the next time you start Paint.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I appreciate your feedback. I tried
that, but it still does not work.

OK. Now...what operating system?
XP perhaps by the looks of your path?
