When I use Microsoft Paint, the color replacement tool using the eraser only works some of the time. Most of the time it does nothing.
How can I fix this?

By default Windows 7 Paint applies Anti Aliasing to everything font related.... woop-de-do! But there is a way to turn this off via a little setting aptly named Smooth Edge.
Open up Advanced System Settings (Right click my computer, properties, then on the left hand side, Advanced Properties).
On the Advanced Tab -> Under Performance, click Settings -> under Visual Effects there is a check box for Smooth edges of screen fonts. That is the only way you can deactivate the AA in Paint, but this is a global setting, so all fonts everywhere won't be Anti-Aliased or 'Smooth Edged'.
Paint is a pretty basic program, after searching the registry, the properties and and finding no guide on shell parameters, I'm reasonably sure this isn't supported.
