It was working great until recently. If I can remember correctly I used to go to either file or edit at top left corner and copy the screenshot,schematic,etc. Then paste to paint but it doesnt work any more? Ive run sfc/scannow but that didnt fix it? Any ideas?
Heya. When taking a screenshot with printscreen it captures the whole screen, including all monitors where as alt+printscreen only captures the current window in focus, is there anyway to remap the keys so its functionality is swapped?
Hi: I have done a Print Screen of my desktop and pasted it in Paint. Then saved the file on my hard drive - which I have done in the past. But now I cannot get it printed out on a full page (81/2 x 11 Page). Why? I have done this before but cannot do so tonight. I can print but in smaller size....

To copy and paste a print screen via paint into a word doc i find the result to small to read. How do i increase it`s size?
I could save a snip with the snipping tool and after opening it in Paint, it might print very big.
