Since getting a new computer, I cannot remember the settings for capturing
stills from movies using print screen. Can someone remind me?

With thanks

Pressing the Prtscn key will copy the entire screen shown on the monitor to the
clipboard.
Pressing Alt+Prtscn will copy the front-most active window shown on the monitor to
the clipboard.

You may also be interested in trying Windows Movie Maker:

or SnagIt, a great program for all types of captures:

If you use Windows Media Player for viewing the movie you will need to make
a change in the Video Acceleration in order to do the capture. Launch WMP
and go to Tools->Options->Performance. Slide the Video Acceleration all the
way to the left (none). OK out of there. It often helps to use a third party
screen capture tool like this one which is free
