I am unable to capture a screen image using the PrtSc key, nor am I able to
capture the contents of an active window using Alt PrtSc key combination.

By capture I mean I ran clipBrk.exe immediately after PrtSc and it was empty.

Perhaps some graphics application has taken over these features. How can I
determine exactly what happens when I press PrtSc.

KCav,

For XP:

Capture the current focused window is CTRL + PRINTSCREEN. ALT is for Windows
2000 & before

Can you capture with the correct keys?

No, I pressed Ctrl PrtSc, opened WordPad and tried to Paste. Next I Ran
Clipbrd.exe and it was empty.

Ctrl PrtSc, PrtSc, Alt PrtSc all faile to capture anyting.

How can I log what files are being opened. I think the commands are being
interecepted by some program.

Er No. Alt+PrintScrn is the correct key combination for XP. I have just
tried it and verified it on 2 PCs. Ctrl+PrintScrn has the same effect as
PrintScrn on its own.

if i am not mistaken
clipbook is a service that
can be enabled or disabled
in services via admin tools.

notwithstanding, you may
be actually capturing the
screen and not realize it.

the captured screen should
be seen when you click "paste"
in a program like paint:

start > run > %SystemRoot%\system32\mspaint.exe


generally, pressing the
print screen key or in
combination with the shift
key will capture the image.

I performed Alt + PrtSc > WordPad > Pasted .... nothing was entered into
WordPad.

I went to Services and found the status of Clipbrd is Started. I peformed
Alt + PrtSc and looked in clipbrd, nothing there.

I wonder why the key board cammand Alt PrtSc is not capturing anything. I
will bet some program is interferring. How can I capture to a log file the
files that are accessed when I try to capture either the active window or
entire screen with a print screen command?

That is *not* correct. Alt-PrtScrn is the correct combination for the active
Window, and Ctrl-PrtScrn works just like PrtScrn alone.

To KCav: What happens when you press PrtScrn or Alt-PrtScrn, then open Paint
and Press Ctrl-V (paste)?

not sure. however, it
takes memory to be available
for reserving the image.

also, eventhough the clipbook/board
service is enabled, i think you still
need to run the exe program - but
i don't remember anymore.

on my system i can simply
press "the" print screen button
and paste it into word or
paint.

what you might want
to try is to download a
freeware on print screens
or clipboards, there are dozens
of them available.

if a freeware seems to work
for you whereas the windows
standard print screen does
not, then this could be
a clue to look further into
your problem, that is if you
still want to spend time
figuring it out.

i suppose what also
comes to mind is that
your keyboard button
may be faulty as well.

windows has an onscreen keyboard
via the accessibility options.

you can use your mouse, hover
over the visual print screen button
then click it.

afterwards alt tab to wordpad and
see if this captured your screen.

you may also want to
see if the above option
will work in your safemode.

let us know what you
find out with the
above.....

Thank you for your reply.

I performed a PrtSc using Windows on screen keyborad. I presees the PrtSc
key and pasted the the entire screen image into WordPad. This mean I have
memory available and Windows services work. I would like to capture the what
happens when I press the PrtSc ke on my keyboard. Any idea on how to do that?

I did try to kind a third party remedy. I went to Goolgel and entered
PrtKey and then I downloaded Prevx 2.0. It eneded up a Spy detector. So
where do I find a PrtSc remedy?

Remove the keyboard from Device Manager, then restart. This should
reinstall the KB driver and that key might start working.
