I'm using Microsoft Paint version 5.1 with Windows XP, and whenever I save my work and re-open it my previously clearly defined drawings are surrounded by pixels of various similar colours to the objects, which I did not create. The objects themselves also change from being uniform in colour to being composed of pixels of slightly varying colour. I have lost two hours of work time cleaning up an image which is vital to the paper I am writing, and am reluctant to save it in case the same thing happens again. Does anyone know of a solution to this infuriating problem?
An example of what I am referring to is attached to this post. The diagonal cross should be scarlet on a white background, and there should be no blue-grey pixels around the text.
