Hi Jon,
1. You can find Clipboard Viewer here: On the desk top click My Computer \
Local disc C:\WINDOWS\system32\ and scroll down, 'way down..., to the
clipbrd.exe icon. It's not a folder. (Note the spelling of
"clipbrd"............) You can right click on this icon and send to the
desktop and use it there, or move it from the desktop to the taskbar for
convenience.
2. Re Screen Capture. I do Screen Capture this way: I press the "Prt Scrn"
key, then go to START | ALL PROGRAMS | ACCESSORIES | PAINT | EDIT | PASTE
and fool around with it there.
You can of course press "Prt Scrn" and view the screen shot in Clipboard
Viewer and save it from there, but "PAINT" offers ways to manipulate it
first (cropping etc.)
Good Luck. Let us know the outcome.

Cropping sure is a pain in the ass with Paint! Hard to believe you
can't just select what you want to crop and then choose "crop" from a
menu like in Photoshop or Paintshop. I ended up selecting the image I
wanted from the screencap then "copy to" saving it as a .bmp because
there was no .jpg option, then taking it to photoshop and saving it as a
..jpg. Roundabout way compared to win98 but it worked.

Almost everything with Paint is a PITA. But, like anything else if you use
it enough you get a little more proficient. Keep in mind that Paint is not
a very sophisticated program. But I use it all of the time to edit picture
files.
You can crop pictures in Paint by...
Using the Select option from the toolbox and drag the pointer to define the
area you want to save.
Then right click and select Copy or hit Ctrl + C.
Click on File and then New or hit Ctrl + N.
Click on Edit and then Paste or hit Ctrl + V to paste the image.
Click on File and then Save or Save As.
Click the V on the Save as type box to expand the menu.
To save as a JPG file, click on JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*;JFIF).
Specify a folder, type a file name and click Save.
In XP, jpg, jpeg, jpe and jfif are all considered JPEG Images and will be
listed in File Types dialog boxes as JPEG Image.
From Paint Help:
<quote>
To change the size of your picture
1. On the Image menu, click Attributes.
2. Under Units, click the unit of measurement you want to use for the width
and height.
3. Type the measurements in Width and Height.
Notes
* You can also resize your picture by dragging the image resize handles,
located at the lower-right corner and along the bottom and right sides of
your picture. (You might need to maximize the window to see the square
resize handles.)
* If your current picture is bigger than the new size, the picture is cut
from the right side and bottom to fit within the smaller area. If your
current picture is smaller than the new size, the extra area is filled with
the selected background color.
<quote>
Also...
In Paint, click Edit and then Select All or hit Ctrl + A.
Hold down the left mouse button and move the picture around to edit the
size.
Move it to the left and move it up.
Then use the resize tabs on the bottom and the right to resize the white
space and whatever else you want to remove.
I know of no instructions on how to do this exactly, you have to mess around
and learn how to do it.
Some times if you cannot see the resize tab on the right you can click on
Image on the Menu bar and then click on Attributes. Resize the Width
smaller by 10 pixels and click OK. Keep doing that until you can see the
right hand resize tab.
Tip: Use Save As and rename the original file to OriginalName2 or something
and edit the 2 file, that way if you mess up you still have the original to
Save As again.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the screen. But in
all versions of Windows, this works differently, and the name of the key is
now an anachronism.
To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire screen, or press
alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active window. Either one captures
the image to the Windows clipboard. Once it's in the clipboard you can paste
(Ctrl-V) it into any application that supports graphics (Windows Paint,
other graphics programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or
add to the image as you wish, then print it.
This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing it is an
improvement over the original DOS method of just printing it. But if you'd
like that old facility back, there are several third-party
freeware/shareware programs that can do this, such as PrintKey2000 at
http://www.sharewarejunkies.com/00zwd2/printkey2000.htm

Sorry Jon, that you find cropping in "Paint" such a PITA...... I don't, but
then I don't have PhotoShop or PaintShop. Actually, I often use IrfanView
instead. It's free.

What is clipsrv.exe?
clipsrv.exe = Windows NT DDE Server. This is also the ClipBook service.
ClipBook service
[[Enables ClipBook Viewer to store information and share it with remote
computers. If the service is stopped, ClipBook Viewer will not be able to
share information with remote computers. If this service is disabled, any
services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.]]
Make sure the ClipBook service is Disabled.
Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click ClipBook, if it is running, click the Stop
button.
Set it to Disabled under Startup type.
Click Apply.
Click OK.
Close Services.
After the installation of Service Pack 2, this service is set from Manual to
Disabled by default.
<quote>
Clipbook Service
Recommended State Disabled, for security measures.
Default State
WinXP: Manual.
WinXP SP2: Disabled.
Description
Is used to access the machine's clipboard remotely using the NetDDE service.
It is an old service from the NT 3.X days.
Note Acrobat Reader has a menu option Window -> "Show Clipboard", which
starts the Clipboard Viewer in Windows (Can be installed through Add/Remove
Programs in Control Panel). Windows Clipboard Viewer uses this service and
will fail to operate if it is disabled.

So apparently this is the network clipboard sharing people said didn't
exist?
Make sure the ClipBook service is Disabled.
Thanks. It was disabled.
