Re: Corel Photo Paint Version 7.0 compatible with Windows 10?

Thanks very much for all the suggestions, but I finally found a screenshot tutorial on YouTube that describes what everyone else, even some experts, apparently fails to do.  That is, on some systems, or at least on some keyboards, there is an additional key or keys that need to be held down before pressing the Print Screen button.  On my particular keyboard/system, it's the Function key - Fn. As long as I hold down the Fn key first, I'm now able to use the Print Screen button just as I did for years on my old HP PC on Windows 7 to copy to Corel Photo-Paint's clipboard.  Anyway, thanks very much!

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.
