JamesEJ,
If I might offer some steps that have nothing to do with your issue...
...but might make things easier for us to help you:
open MS Paint
scroll to the bottom of the white area
scroll to the right of the white area
shrink that white area by dragging the bottom right corner of the white area up to the top left corner.
Leave an area that is about one inch square.
Close MS Paint. When prompted to save your changes, select Don't Save.
The next time that you open MS Paint, the white area should be small.
The next screenshot that you paste in should have no white areas around it.
It will look much better in forum posts
