Help with Print Screen button

[Guest Jess1587]

I cant get my Print Screen button to copy things anymore. I hit the button

and go to Paint like I've done a million times before in the past 4 or so

years, but now when I hit Ctrl-V..nothing comes up. I can right click to get

the menu bar, but the Paste choice cant be highlighted. Anybody know what's

going on?

The clipboard viewer is in Windows\system32 folder. I recommend putting a

copy of it in your start folder... I put mine under "Accessories". The file

name is clipbrd.exe I believe. The easy way is to open C:\documents &

settings\All users and choosing "Start Menu". Right click in an open space

and choose "create shortcut"... this will open the shortcut wizard. You can

then browse to the clipbrd.exe file in the system32 folder, choose it and

walla! your done!

A few ideas I found with a Google Groups Search:

 

- Right-click the Start button and select Properties. Click Customize,

Advanced tab, and scroll through the list of options. Be sure that the

"Enable dragging dropping" option is enabled.

 

- Look for malware on the machine.

 

- Click Start button, Run command and type in the text box:

 

Regsvr32 /i ole32.dll and click [OK] or Hit [Enter] on your keyboard.

 

Regsvr32 /i shell32.dll and click [OK] or Hit [Enter] on your keyboard.

 

If the above doesn't help read this and there is a Hot Fix:

What programs are running in the background ?

Run Tasklist from a command prompt window and post the content of window here.

 

Good Luck, Ayush.
