It should be. Depends what program you are trying to paste to for some reason! Grrr. i had an issue with it not working. Try something else to paste into.

Alt+prnt screen screenshots the active window.

Open Microsoft Paint. hit CTRL+V and there it'll be. Save as a Jpeg and upload away.

you need to press that then paste it, if you press it and open into a word doc then paste it will come up or you can paste into my pics or my docs

How Barbaric

I just go

Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot

Then I just have to tell it whether I want to do full screen, the active window or drag a box around the part I want to cut and paste.

I can even set a delay for the grab and choose to hide the mouse pointer.

You windows people - you dont half make me laugh :)
