| | You have got the paint window extremely large  Nothing serious ! You may fix it using two of the alternatives !!First, slide the both horizontal and vertical sliders of the paint window to to bottom right ...  Until you see the small white dot at the bottom right corner  Click on the white dot, drag insige towards top left, until it is small enough like this one ...  Alternatively, after pasting the screen in the paint window, just press the crop button  Hope it works  |

| | Since your screen resolution is 1600 x 900 and your 'desktop' screenshot is 1360 x 768 are you sure you haven't mixed up your desktop capture with a netbook/laptop capture? Or are you also pressing Alt at the same time as you hit PrtSc perhaps?  |

| | ...or, as a workaround, use the snipping tool instead for screenies. |

| | Thanks for all replies. I still don't know what caused my problem, but managed to fix it by opening 'Paint' without anything showing then clicked File > properties and default button.  Case closed. |
