I'm on windows xp. I'm starting to wonder if it's a weird keyboard problem or something. It just makes no sense.

It could very possibly be a keyboard problem.
I know that the keystroke cntrl+prtsc copies screen images into the clipboard. Unless there's something wrong with your clipboard itself (Which Tore is having a problem with right now, in Windows 7, so it's not beyond belief) then a keyboard problem could be likely.

Just to be sure there isn't some kind of weird software clusterfuck, restart your computer an attempt to capture your screen image again. Paste it in Paintbrush. Let me know what happens.

Procedure:

1. Restart Computer
2. Deal with normal startup processes
3. Realize why ObjectDock wasn't working; fix it
4. Minimize all applications, hit Ctrl-PrtScn
5. Open MS Paint. Hit Ctrl-V
6. Frown.

Look... I don't know shit about how Windows programmed its clipboard. So far this is the second time someone complains about it, regardless of OS. I do appreciate the fact that you're having problems though. It helps me feel better that I still use XP and I have none of the problems you guys have.
