Nothing is happening

I would try first. Edit -> Preferences -> Tool Options and click on Reset Saved Tool Options to Default Values OK bottom of page, Restart Gimp.

Screenshots: (generally when you get the tools working Smile )
Gimp has a built in screenshot function that will get you a good shot of the whole Gimp window. File -> Create - > Screenshot 




The whole window because showing the Tool Options and Layers dock plus Title bar, usually gives a clue to what is wrong.



Smaller size for sending to the forum? 
Scaling, Usually I scale down 2/3 rds but you have to look at the result. Is everything there and legible? If not, do not scale.
Exporting the screenshot. Other than for specific images JPEG produces a smaller file size than PNG.

This seems to have fixed it, thanks for all the advice (related to the problem or otherwise). This was incredibly frustrating to deal with so it's nice to not have it on my mind. Smile
