What extension will a "screen shot" possess?

[truedelphi]

14. Okay how can I make myself more clear than I have been making it?

Number one: I understand the notion of "Clipboard." However, my Sony Vaio has never had an accessible clipboard. I am assuming something is happening when I I "Alt" and "Prnt Scr" = but whatever it is that is happening, I cannot recover the image.

If I cut and paste one of your two paragraphs, I can recover and use that information by going to my Desktop, opening the Notepad program, and tossing (pasting) what I just cut from your post into that notepad file.

But when I do the screen shot function, i cannot retrieve the datea that presumabley is happening.

Maybe I am missing a driver or something? (I mention drivers on account of this: We - spouse and I - have always used the headphones for our Youtube and MP3 lsitening -as the drivers for our computers' Sony Vaio sound system never worked. It was only about a week ago that I found out that is the reason that the systems were not allowing us to use the speakers tath came with the originalmonitors. This was as true of the systems back in 2002 when first purchased as it is now.)
