Want MS Paint version from Windows 98

Question

I really, really need the old Ms Paint in my windows vista. No Ms.Paint, no other program. The. Old. Paint. The new one just does not cut it. I mean, it was bad when Microsoft took the old tools of changing one colour for the other, but this latest version is, I am sorry, totally worthless. The good thing about MS Paint was, it was a simple program that allowed you a loot of freedom. This is not like that anymore, and I can just not do the kind of drawings I did in the old one.

So, there is any way to get the old, Windows 98 version back?

Answer 1

See if these are old enough?  I'm not sure about the first link but it looks like it will give you Windows 98 Paint, but the last one is for the XP version.

Hey Linney!! You are the bestest, thanks! I know use the old paint to do the general work and the new one because of the "transparent cut" feature. I am getting the best of both worlds :)

Answer 5

Microsoft has removed the support page and the download page.

Microsoft is slowly removing support pages as long as the systems are no longer supported. But is removing from Windows 8 and 8.1 as these systems are shortly used, keeping only Windows 10 and related software support.
