IrfanView won't let me 'Paste'!

I've been using IrfanView for a few weeks and had no problems. I just tried to take a screen shot of my FP page, but when I go to paste it into IV, the 'Paste' is greyed out. Actually, the whole 'Edit' drop down menu is greyed out. I've shut both programs down and restarted, but it still doesn't work. Any solutions?
 
If the edit drop down is grayed out, it means there's nothing on your clipboard to Paste into
IrfanView.

Try pasting your screenshot into Paint and see if it works, or use the capture feature of IrfanView.

I can't put it into Paint, b/c Paint was somehow deleted from my computer (I have no idea how, it was just gone one day), but I've been trying to use the 'Capture' feature, but it seems to be hit and miss.
 
Then go into Add/Remove programs, Windows setup and reinstall paint. Or do a file search for
mspaint.exe

When you copy an image into the clipboard (screen shot), the clipboard will only paste into an image editor (as a new image)
