Suddenly unable to create screenshot

Last response: in Applications

Hello, I have Win7 64bit. Have been able to create screenshots in the past. Suddenly, it doesn't work. I press the "prtsc" key... or ctrl-prtsc..or alt-prtsc...nothing seems to work.
When I open Paint, my only choice is "paste from" the other "paste" is greyed out. When I choose "paste from" and desktop, it does not show the desired screenshot from the desktop.
Also, I have placed the "clip" shortcut on my desktop but it opens only for a split second.
Does anybody have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance for any ideas! Ann

I figured out to use the Snipping Tool and it works well. Don't know why the Clip. Shortcut is only opening for a split second though...
