Saving error in mspaint

[aguywithskills]

IN MSPAINT, when i try to save a file as a .jpg or .gif file (it does allow me to select these types under "save as&quot it brings up an error message:
"Paint cannot save this file. Save was interrupted, so your file has not been saved."

Any ideas on whats causing this?? its really annoying

PS: It does allow me to save as a .bmp file but those take up way more space than a jpg

Have you tried reinstalling paint?
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Setup>Accessories, uncheck paint, click ok out, go back, put the checkmark back. If that doesn't fix it, let me know, also, what is your default program for opening jpeg and gif files

yeah, matt i tried that, i was able to save as jpg and gif files after i downloaded a registry fix for them both, but just recently it hasnt allowed me to. i havent installed any programs that would have interfered with it, i dont think
my jpg and gif files open into "CoffeeCup quick viewer"
if that helps
thanks for the help though
this is really annoying me
