paint bug error first use after boot

Hi All,
In order to help with errors, I usually take a Print Screen Snapshot of the error message and paste it into Paint.
I am receiving an error message at boot, while the Startup programs are loading.
I hit the Print Screen Key. Then I load Paint. No problems there.
Once Paint is loaded, I clicked Edit then Paste.
I receive the following error message:
X Error getting the clipboard data!
I have a Print Screen of this error condition, leading me to think that the clipboard isn't working at Boot. Once the boot process is finished and the errors are off the screen, can I then paste into Paint.
