Hi

Newbie here - don't know if this is the right thread to post in - no doubt
someone will tell me if it's not!

Recently lost MSPaint and had to download Paint.net as a replacement,
together with numerous .net add-ons (said they were required!). Since then,
whenever I boot-up I get the following error message ...

"pchnotify.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the convenience."

And now my Norton continually tells me that my anti-virus and firewall are
turned off, although it corrects itself within a few minutes.

WHY??

I contacted HP (whose machine I am running) but they weren't very helpful
and ended up telling me to use my recovery discs, but I don't really want to
do this.

I've since reinstalled MSPaint again, but I like Paint.net and want to keep
it. But this error message annoys me - seems harmless as nothing ever comes
of my simply closing the error message window, but I'd like to get rid please.

Any ideas?
