I press print screen and when I try to paste it into a program, it doesn't work. Can't figure out why. Windows XP SP2 Dual monitors It just stopped working one day. I'll try to think back to what I installed recently meanwhile...
I just looked up all of the programs that are running right now according to task manager and I doubt any of them are responsible. WTF?!?!
Well, it's Print-Screening, but won't paste. Wait, this is weird. I opened MSPaint to see the error it was giving me, realized I had text on my clipboard, hit Print Screen and it worked! Print-Screened some other things, kept working! However, as soon as I close Paint, it stops working! And now even with MSPaint open, it's not working! The error Paint is giving me is: "Error getting the Clipboard Data!" -> OK "There is not enough memory or resources to complete operation. Close some programs, and then try again." -> OK WTF, I have a gig of RAM and it's not all being used. Perhaps the file where the clipboard contents is corrupted...
Just rebooted and it's been working find so far. I've rebooted before and it's stopped working, so I'd imagine it's just a matter of time until it stops working again.
