I got a new laptop for Christmas, which came with Windows 7. And since I'm really not use to it, I'm wondering if I could somehow get the mspaint from Windows XP/Vista onto my laptop.

Hi Nickosaurus,

Paint is an inbuilt application in Windows 7 as well. In Windows 7, MS paint has got some additional features which were not there in it's previous versions.

You may refer the below mentioned links.

 Hope this information helped!

 Thanks and regards

    Actually, though this is very late, there is a download which i just found for the old paint, which was what Nickosaurus wanted. type in your browser: 'old paint windows 7 download' and click on the second answer which says 'Paint XP for Windows 7'. You can download it from there. :D

    Using an old version of paint, I put that in the place of the new one by going in through linux and deleting the new one, then copying in the old one, works fine :)

    I must agree with the people here that live by the credo, if it 's not broke don't fix it. "It's new. .. more tingles.. less dangles. People come with a specific request and are given another new "Car Salesman" pitch.

     I don't want that I came here for this and now adays what you want is among many of those buttons that seem to say I'll get Only what I came for.

     The new system is great of course there are new things to learn and get the hang of it all but somethings you just don't think of alll the time or use all the time for that matter.

     Think though you are given a nice little project and you are already mapping out how your going to get it done, and in record time as you know the moves, Crackerjacks It'll be kinda fun maybe a little extra for presentation sake, and your a good egg.

     The moment after I selected a straight line, with a narrow brush just plain black for my line color and just white back ground and I got some ugly! squiggly! Grey line I knew I was @#*&% and it only got worse.

      I just came looking for a look to see if I could get a Paint like the one in XP, right now I just don't feel up to learning a new better Paint, thank you,.
