since it didn't paste, and then did, but got stuck, it sounds to me like the problem is not with Paint, but with prtscr. pressing prtscr grabs the whole screen. Holding Alt while pressing it grabs the currently active window.
Is it possible that you're using Alt+prtscr, while the streetview window does not have focus?
BTW, on notebooks, you usually need shift held down for prtscr to work.
Notebooks often have a third function on each key. Many have this function written in blue and accessed by pressing an Fn lock button.

BTW. A fantastic free upgarde to the woefully limited Paint is Paint.net
