got the above from derosnec:in my inbox and have used this feature for years with no problem.
I thought that perhaps the prt sc button on this laptop is accessed differently ie it shares a button with home
but I can't cut and paste from anywhere and put it into paint program.
steps:
highlight to select
copy command from menu bar or right click menu
go to paint program
rectangular select tool is selected
move mouse to new document (white space)
right click to paste -- not available
choose paste from menu bar -- not in bold
nothing happens
if I draw something and then cut in this program I can repaste the cutout
If I may.
I am still not sure where you are trying to copy from.
Trying to repeat your steps with Vista, I clicked to highlight a jpg-picture file on the desktop. Next I right-clicked it to Copy. Then I opened MS-Paint and tried to Paste it. It wouldn't go.
Next, I opened that picture in W.Photo Gallery. Copied it to the clipboard via right-click menu. Then went into Paint and tried to Paste it. Again it wouldn't.
However, I can screen-shot just fine with my notebook. It requires use of the special Fn key: to screen-shot, I need to press compound keystroke Fn+PrScn else Fn+Alt+PrScn. That method Pastes just fine into Paint.
Am I being helpful, or should I apologize for butting in?
I take it this post was deleted from can't paste into paint because somebody threatened I'm going to be YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE here, IDIOT!

Try those compound keystrokes from the desktop.
The pair [fn][PrtSc] should capture the entire screen.
When you click a window or gadget first, then [fn][Alt][PrtSc] should capture just that smaller region.
Then try to Paste that into Paint. -

Granny has a laptop, with a [fn] key. -

On my 17" HP notebook (which has a separate numeric keypad), the [fn] key is on the bottom row, just left of the Win key. -
Vote As Helpfultalk about feeling foolish!

If you are treat others with respect and politeness, you will be treated the same way. Using the word "idiot " and "I'm goint to be your worst nightmare" will get you nowhere in ANY forum. The moderators have the right to censor any post they want.
No one should ever have to put up with this kind of posts; and most likely, people who do will be deleted. Most of us are just here to get help and informaiton and find out how to work problems out---not to call people names and issue threats.
I am only here to learn more about my computer. I am sorry if has a problem with that.Friday, September 11, 2009 5:04 AM -
