Vista - Paint dpi resolution

I like the simplicity of Paint. I do simple illustrations and drawings. But
because of the Paint Program`s low resolution 72x72 dpi When I print on paper
or poster at a much larger size than the original drawing, the image becomes
distorted. I know I can start drawing at a much larger size on Paint but
then I can not see the whole image on the computer screen. I have to scroll
up and down and left and right to see different parts of the image while I am
drawing. So without buying Photo Shop, Corel etc...what can I do? Is there a
solution using Paint? Is there an upgrade to the Paint Program? I Can`t seem
to find it. Help Anyone!

Try out the open-source and free Paint.Net for Windows.

I myself haven't tried it out yet, and from what I can see, if you're
looking for a basic paint-like program, it should do whatever you need it
to do.

The only drawback is (I assume) it is written in .Net.
