Error getting clipboard data

If you are trying to Alt-Print Screen or Print Screen and then paste to an application such as Paint, you might sometimes get the message:

"Error getting clipboard data"

Chances are you have more than one monitor.

The only reliable way I found to fix this was to revert back to a single monitor.

Other ideas people had that may or may not work for you:

• Reboot
• Create a new user profile
• Perform copy and paste from your main monitor
• Close more programs.
