Print Screen

I have followed the instructions in the FAQ posting on how to print (capture a screen shot) and nothing happens when I paste to paint. Nothing gets posted to paint. Any thougths as to what I could be happening or what I could be doing wrong? Thanks.

Check to see if the image is being sent to your clipboard.

albatross11,
Thanks for the reply. How do I check to see if the image is being sent to my clipboard? Thanks

You can also try pasting into a word doc to check. If it doesn't work then you must be doing something wrong.

I personally prefer to use IRFANVIEW instead of paint. It's free to dl.

Clipboard Viewer, I believe, is in your Systems Tools. When you Print Screen, the image should appear there.
What bp said above is probably easier. I use MS Paint & Irfanview both for print screens.
Plus, Irfanview is just handy to have around.
