Whenever I take a screenshot, I go in CPP7 & click on "New from Clipboard" on the drop-down menu for "File" in the upper left corner of CPP7, but all I get is some type of illegible text of something that I had copied before rather than the image that I just took a screenshot of.

I seem to remember a way to open certain types of files with certain programs for Windows 7, and I think that's likely how I somehow got the image clipboard from screenshots to open in CPP7.

Start : Run : osk.exe

That's the onscreen keyboard.

Click the "PRTSCN" key on the virtual keyboard.

Go to PAINTSHP and control-v to paste into the
open image and see if that works.

I tested osk.exe on my W21H1 install and it worked,
into GIMP. In GIMP, you'd use control-v to paste.

In this example, I took a picture of the screen (where
I'm set up to take the picture), then pasted into GIMP.

Now, if that works, yet your keyboard doesn't, you can
also use "osk.exe" to "monitor" the keyboard. Maybe it
takes shift-prtscn to get the PRTSCN button in osk.exe
to toggle state ? Try key combos until the osk.exe
PRTSCN button toggles.

(One of the reasons I'm using osk.exe for this, is my "new"
keyboard doesn't even have a PRTSCN! I didn't even notice.
The designers placed the backlight LED controls where the
three buttons, the Break and Prtscn group used to be.)
