Wow, that's odd.  Usually ShiPainter causes issues, because it needs more than one file from the server.  ChibiPaint is fully contained in one file, so this doesn't sound like a permissions issue.

If this is your own oekaki, I assume you have a copy of the Wacintaki ZIP file.  Open it up, and copy ChibiPaint.jar to your desktop and run it.  Unlike ShiPainter, ChibiPaint will work as a stand-alone programs without the need for a web browser (although you can't save pictures).  See if you can draw when it's running locally.  If not, Java is messed up, and you may have to re-install it.

Failing that, or if this isn't your own oekaki, give me a link to the oekaki and I'll try it out.  I presume it will work just fine for me, but I'll try it anyway.

Alas, it seems to be working fine for me.

If you're using a Mac, be aware that Java software doesn't always work correctly.

If you use a PC, I know that ATI/AMD graphics cards have had issues supporting Java in the past, especially on WindowsXP.  I had a whole ton of issues a few years ago, such as getting a blank screen where the applet was supposed to be.  It might be related to the graphics card.  You may also need to get a new/updated version of Java.  Perhaps re-installing it might help.

Well, I installed Jtablet, then the same problem came: I can no longer draw on the canvas. Again. I tried re-installing Java, but it doesn't work.
I uninstalled Jtablet, but that didn't work. Awww...

I don't see any changes... Aww. I guess I can no longer use ChibiPaint then. Aww... Thanks for helping me out! You've really tried hard!

Yikes.  I can't say I've ever heard of this before.

I'm afraid I don't know any hotkeys to send the oekaki, but you can try using Alt-F to try and open the file menu via the keyboard rather than the mouse.

If that doesn't work, I think your only option is to take a screenshot.  Assuming you have a PC, move all the ChibiPaint toolbars out of the way and hit the PrintScrn key in the upper-right section of the keyboard.  Then start up another paint utility like MS Paint and do a paste from the Edit menu.  If that doesn't work, you might have to try another paint program (I'm not sure how the new version of MS Paint differs from the older version I have).
