You're doing it wrong. So very wrong...


When you want to copy everything that is on your screen, as an image, simply find the button on your keyboard that says PRTSCN. (Stands for "print screen", just in case you're wondering...)
Press it.
What just happened is the entire image on your monitor was copied into memory. Now you just open up a photo editor program.. you can even use MS Paint, and paste the image into it. Either by using Edit > Paste, or CTRL + V.

Then you can resize the image, crop it, etc... or save it as it is.
