The idea behind this page is not to directly solve the issues for you, but to hopefully point you in the the right direction, or at least to where your help requests may be best posted.
If you don't find an answer to your problem after performing a specific search, you may have the option to post a help request in one of the following newsgroups, mailing lists or forums. You will generally get a faster and more accurate reply if you include the nature of the problem breifly in the topic header. Also state the version of Painter (including patches) and platform (Mac or PC) you are using. It is of great help if you are as specific as possible when describing the problem, and use the correct terminology specific to your Painter version. In other words, help people to help you.
