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 http://superuser.com/questions/9513/print-screen-error-with-dual-monitors 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 out graphics driver buffering issues (if you can reproduce the problem, if you can't then that's a possibility...) –Redandwhite Dec 2 '09 at 0:07 add a comment| 8 Answers 8 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted I had same problem. Reduce harware accel & reduce to 16 bit color. I have an ATI Fire GL V5200 with dual outputs. share|improve this answer answered Aug 11 '10 at 12:53 Patrick 6612 Wow! That fixed it exactly! One notch down on the acceleration, and down to 16-bit color - and it all works perfectly. Thanks!!! –Jeff

Ive also tried pasting it into photoshop but it just comes up as a black canvas with the outlines of the close, minimize and maximize buttons. This problem has been happening for ages and its starting to get on my nerves. Anyone know of any solutions?
