Holding down alt-print screen works fine, to just capture a single window. Is there a permanent solution to this? I'd rather not mess with third-party tools. windows-xp multiple-monitors print-screen share|improve this question edited Sep 1 '09 at 1:36 salmonmoose 1,5501014 asked Jul 20 '09 at 20:05 Jeffrey 2,02031936 You might consider adding the tag "multiple-monitors" to your question. I'd do it myself, but I don't have enough reputation yet. –tnorthcutt Sep 1 '09 at 1:19 Wow I'm having the same problem but I can get it to paste into Photoshop (CS3), like it's not even grabbing the screenshot. However, Alt-Prnt-Scrn works! And I know I don't have memory issues because I've used the print-screen screenshot (pasted into PS) for years on this same machine--- it used to work not more than a week ago. Probably I just need to reboot? Windows being random again. Or is some clever program disabling this out of spite? Grrr. –Jared Updike Oct 5 '09 at 17:48 Not much help I know, but can you reproduce the error in Safe Mode?That might help rule

Of http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Windows-XP-Clipboard course, all of it is stored in your computer's memory, and memory can get filled fast. This article will help you clear off any data on your computer's clipboard. Steps 1 Open the Windows XP start menu by clicking the https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17874001 Start button or by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard (if applicable). If you are using Boot Camp on a Mac along with a Macintosh keyboard, the equivalent of the Windows key would be the Command key. 2 Open error getting the Run command window by clicking "Run..." on the start menu. Of course, you can skip both steps 1 and 2 by simply pressing the Windows key + R. 3 In the command window, type in "clipboard" (Clipbrd or Clipbrd.exe in Windows XP Service pack 3). This is the Windows Clipboard Viewer, which might be called the "ClipBook Viewer" or "Clipbrd" on your machine. Click "OK" or hit Enter on your keyboard when finished. 4 Near the top of error getting clipboard the Clipboard Viewer will be a graphical toolbar, and one of the icons will be a black X. If you have nothing on your clipboard, this image will be greyed out and inaccessible. 5 If you are ready to delete whatever was on the clipboard, click "Yes".If it is not greyed out, click the X button. Whatever is on the clipboard will be deleted permanently. Community Q&A Ask a Question Submit Already answered Not a question Bad question Other If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know. Tips The Clipboard Viewer is, in fact, a real program. For easy access to it, you can create a shortcut of it on your desktop or other frequently accessed area. If you don't want to have any material lost when you clear the clipboard, go into the Clipboard Viewer's File menu and click "Save As...". You can now save this data to an area of your hard drive for safekeeping. These steps can be used with other Windows OSes, but they may work a little differently. Warnings At worst, you will have to re-access the material that was on the clipboard and copy (or cut) it again. Make sure you will not need this material in the future.

"Error getting clipboard data" I click on Ok, it prompts me with another error 2. "There is not enough memory or resources to complete operation. Close some programs, then try again" It's less prone to happen when I use alt-printscreen instead of normal printscreen and indeed when I have have less windows/apps open, and doesn't happen at all with my second monitor disabled. It didn't happen a few months ago ( yes I've been having this problem since December) and I took at least hundred of 2560x1280 print screens even with 30 windows open no problems before that time. I've found the question on loads of Google results but nobody has had an answer except for disabling the 2nd screen ( all people experiencing the problem are running dual screens, happens to both ATI and NVIDIA users). Also found it on this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/M..._23211321.html But obv. I can't see the reply as you need to pay for it . Anybody knows how to fix my problem, copying anything else ( eg. text, files, etc) is always fine? Xp pro 32bit...
