There might dll file gone currupt
SOURCE: ms paint stop working
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to reinstall MS Paint. Other people in the same fix were told to try this as a substitute:

If I were in your shoes, though, I wouldn't worry so much about Paint. I'd worry about whatever caused the corruption, and is anything else corrupted? This may be a good time to try some free anti-virus/anti-spyware software and make sure you don't have problems from that quarter. If you don't have any antivirus software, this one generally works for me, and has reasonably good reviews:
AVG Free edition, http://free.grisoft.com (keep going through menus to get the free one; they really try to market the paid version.)
There are several good anti-spyware programs out there. Make sure you update before running scans. The two that have worked the best for me:
Spybot S&D / Spybot Search & Destroy, scroll down a bit here:

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Again, run the updates before you scan. It's not a bad idea to run the anti-spyware stuff regularly -- weekly, monthly, somewhere in between.
