    I've uninstalled it by accident and it won't reinstall without my Microsoft disk (which I don't have).

    Need a program which I can just open and paste a screenshot into and save quickly.

    Cheers.

    Paint.NET is free and will do the job for you but it's a bit flasher than MS Paint

    If the problem is that you want a screenshot saving as a file - Then install 'ScreenHunter' it's FREE.

    http://wisdom-soft.com/sh/sh_free.htm

    This allows you to take a screenshot and automatically save it as a .jpg file without having to go into Paint and to paste/trim the image.

    Very handy utility to have. ;)
