Can no longer run mspaint

This is probably the most annoying thing that has ever happened to me (I didn't realize how much I relyed on ms-paint)..
NOTE: (WINDOW STYLES)
I was using the SetWindowLong with GWL_STYLE and GWL_EXSTYLE params to change buttons and crap into application windows because I was bored :|
Long story short, I was messing with the window styles in MS PAINT, closed the program, and since then can no longer run it without getting a crash.
I've tried uninstalling paint via control panel /w windows components and then reinstalling, i've searched long and hard in the registry.. MY PAINT DOESNT WORK HELP ME =O (Or at least tell me a DECENT, simple alternative application that behaves in a similar fashion) :(
This kind of crap would only happen on Windows XP Pro... (It doesn't seem to screw up Windows 98 Paint, wonder why?)

This would have been a fine thread if you didn't ask for help getting it to work, or a windows alternative. Complaining about microsoft is welcome, asking for support is not. Because of this, I would have thrown this in the bin. I'm surprised it has lasted this long. Before you post, please consider whether or not it is appropriate for this forum.

Another good paint program is futurpaint 2.0 but it may only be for mac

As a note to anyone else who screws up paint
on Windows.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint
For some reason, even after uninstalling paint,
windows left all of it's crap in the registry.
I thought uninstalling things meant removing
useless registry entries that are no longer
needed.
Also, I am amazed, as it seems (with the exception of OpenOffice which sucks) that whenever I use a non-ms product, it typically does more and does so in a way that well... PAINT SHOP PRO 6 > PBRUSH. Palette Editor <3

I just found something called X paint...I didn't find it it was always there, but I have started using it. Its very similar to Cumguzlersoft Paint
except it has a few more features. I like it, its great if you need to make a quick diagram or something.
