Do you have a lot of programs running or not much Ram on your computer? Or paint can't handle a picture that size. You also might try Gimp. A free program that is much better than paint. Might work where paint isn't.

I think it's alright to assume that the problem lies somewhere in docs&sets, since thats the only thing really changing when changing a user profile ? Or am I assuming wrong ? I'm not the type of guy that likes to avoid his problems by installing something over again or making a new profile or whateve
