MS Paint problem

I think I got a bad copy of adobe photoshop and I grew sick and tired of it always opening instead of paint. So I removed it from my computer and now every time I copy and paste an image it shows up discolored. Also when I try to paint over it with the color I want it turns out discolored and it only happens when I copy and paste stuff.

Can anybody help me please.

So it isn't your monitor? Sounds like your colourpicker isn't handling colourprofiles properly. What about Windows Viewer (or whatever it's called), do the colours show up right there?

(Btw, if you rightclick on a file, and choose "open with", you can pick a program to open the file with and even set it as default.)

There are two BMP formats, one is monochrome, the other has color. Maybe your MS-Paint is set to Black-n-White. I remember I had that problem long time ago, but don't remember right now how I fixed it.

Thanks for the help. I think the two pictures I was editing some how got corrupted when I erased Adobe. So I deleted them if I have anymore problems regarding this I'll let y'all know.
