Thanks for the response. I think the problem is with the graphic card on my comp. I tried paint weighting with a different computer and it worked fine. Thanks for helping me out. Graphic card on pc is, Card name: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000 IGP Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc. Chip type: MOBILITY RADEON 9100 IGP AGP (0x5835) DAC type: Internal DAC(400MHz) Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5835&SUBSYS_FF021179&REV_00 Display Memory: 128.0 MB Current Mode: 1280 x 800 (32 bit) (60Hz) Monitor: Default Monitor Monitor Max Res: Driver Name: ati2dvag.dll Driver Version: 6.14.0010.6444 (English) DDI Version: 9 (or higher) Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 4/21/2004 23:11:38, 205824 bytes.
