I have Windows XP-Pro. The "Print Scr" key doesn't work and niether does "Alt+P" key combination. My keyboard doesn't have an "F LOCK" / "F Function Lock" key, as it does have a "Num Lock" key. There are no other keys on my key board that even suggest a "____Lock" of any type. How else can I obtain this function. Oh...and one other thing, Microsoft/people sending answers to others, here at "Social Answers" can you try to be a bit more specific with what you're talking about? As your knowledge is greatly appreciated by most, many of us are unfamilliar with computers and have NO idea what you are referring to. When Microsoft can't figure something out or are just to lazy to do so, they advise people to "ask the Computer Administrator". I am the "Computer Administrator", but I'm unexperienced! How does that work out?!! Thanks to all.

What I could suggest is not direct answer how to make default "Print scr" work, but it would enable you to make screenshots in even better way. So I personally useSPGrab program . It let's you to bind any button ("Print scr" included) to screenshot making function. What's more, it allows you to automatically save screenshot to some location (you don't need to paste it to paint and then save manually) or upload it to FTP. It also allows you to make screenshot of complete desktop, active window or selected region.Microsoft Student Partner

Butin all versions of Windows, this works differently, and the name ofthe key is now an anachronism. The key does not print the screen.PrtScrn captures the whole screen, and Alt-PrtScrn captures the activewindow.Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard. Once it's inthe clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any application thatsupports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics programs, even yourfavorite word processor). You can edit or add to the image as youwish, then print it.This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing itis an improvement over the original DOS method of just printing it.But if you'd like that old facility back, there are severalthird-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this, such asPrintKey2000 athttp://www.sharewarejunkies.com/00zwd2/printkey2000.htmKen Blake
