Windows Mail with Vista

[txrangerfan26]

Hi everyone, I am trying to send a copy of the screen that I am currently
looking at in an email. What I do is I hit my prt screen button then try to
paste it in my email, but it never works. I know this works with XP, because
I have XP at work and I do it all the time. Can someone please help? I would
greatly appreciate this information.

You can't paste graphics into a Windows Mail message.
You can save the screen copy to a file in Paint ,et al, then attach the
file.

Or use the newer Windows Live Mail, which will let you paste graphics into a
message.

Try this...
Use your prt screen then open Paint and select Paste, save that on your hard
drive somewhere. Now go here and uploaded for FREE.

Pasting an image from the clipboard does not work in WinMail and did not
work in Outlook Express on WinXP.
Save it as an image on your hard drive and close it. Then insert that file
in your mail.

They probably use Outlook in XP.
