This is the second topic I've posted about paint screwing me over when it comes to saving. Here's my sad story this time: I was up late last night working on some pixels. They were probably the coolest things I've made to date*(Paint dosen't screw anything up unless this is the case). Now that I've captured your interest, allow me to continue. When I try to open my file (a PNG, if that's important) in paint I get this: Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported. When I try to open it in other programs I get something to the effect of: Failed to open document, hail Satan. I dont know what my computer's problem is, is there any way can trick it into opening my picture? It dosen't seem to mind opening anything else, if that's important. *I say that for dramatic effect, it's really just a few plants. I did work hard on them though D: ------------- My gallery lives here: http://www.pixeljoint.com/p/8355.htm?pg=1&sec=icons |

I just tried to cleverly fool my computer by uploading the picture to photobucket, and simply copypasting back into paint, and here's what I get:Image upload failedUpload failed for elements.PNG with error: Invalid file type:So, photobucket is a little more polite about it than my computer is, but it's still not what I need. ------------- My gallery lives here: http://www.pixeljoint.com/p/8355.htm?pg=1&sec=icons |

Yikes, it sounds like your file got corrupted somehow. Not sure what you can do about it. Can you upload it somewhere else so we can take a look at it? You could zip it and upload it to http://www.rapidshare.com - RapidShare or http://www.megaupload.com - MegaUpload , for example. Someone might be able to open it. ------------- |

Holycrap, I actually had most of it saved somewhere else(which I did by mistake, actually, that's why I forgot it was there) Some of it's still missing, but the good part still exists. Thanks anyways :) ------------- My gallery lives here: http://www.pixeljoint.com/p/8355.htm?pg=1&sec=icons |
