Print Screen error
Hi Folks,
When I pressed PrtSc (Print Screen) on the keyboard, open Paint, paste and save as... the pictures are shrunk for some reason. Images.zip |

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?

I'd suggest you to do it again. Press printscreen button, open paint and click on paste, and then click crop, while the selection around the paste area is active. |

...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. |

Screen Shots and Print Screen Programs In many of the replys I notice "Screen Shots" and wondered how you do this in Windows 7? Also can they be saved in a folder for future reference? And is there a Print Screen utility in Windows 7 or a preferred Print Screen Program you recommend. Thanks for your consideration! |
