Have you checked for viruses lately? It's possible that a virus has infected MFC.dll, or something.

If you don't find any viruses ,I would try this ,go to control panel , add & remove programs /,add & remove windows components ,accessories and uncheck paint if it checked ,ok you way out then go back in and reinstall paint .
