Can you screen grab anything else? Try making another window active, or
press the 'windows' key to fire up 'start', and press print screen? I can't
say I've had any problems, but I'm running NT. I can event grab a full
screen, no problems. Clipboard seems to be a different beast under NT:
quacks and walks the same, but when you look at the executable viewers etc
that NT ships with, they seem completely different!

Have you tried a screen grab package? Paint Shop Pro (as recommended by
another post) has a good screen grab feature; I'm using 5.03. See how it
behaves using the 'grab object' function - it should identify elements of
the other windows programs like screen borders, buttons, program contents
etc. Does it handle VNC sessions? You have to grab the whole window, but
while in capture mode, you can right-click the control menu in the top left
of the VNC window, and capture the menu (as a test!) If you're in full
screen mode, it captures the whole screen. Easier to clean that up than one
with Windows furniture on it!

Have you got something in VNC copied, eg text from an XTERM? I've had fun
with Excel claiming it can't 'empty the clipboard' while VNC is running.
Seems to work OK, but it might upset the screen grab function.

Can you copy text out of the VNC session? I've never tried Windows, but VNC
usually merges the X and Windows 'clipboard' function automatically.

If all else fails, have you rebooted the Windows machine? ;-)
