Have you tried to use the Help Files in Vista?
From the Desktop I clicked Help F1, typed Print Screen:


Take a screen capture (print screen)

You can take a picture of what is on your screen by pressing PRINT SCREEN
(PRTSC or PRTSCN on some keyboards). This is called a screen capture. You
can then paste the screen capture into a document, e‑mail message, or other
file. There are two types of screen captures you can take: the entire
screen, or just the active window. For example, if you have three programs
open at the same time, you might want a screen capture of only the active
window.

Note
Some keyboards or mobile PCs that don't have the PRINT SCREEN button might
use other keyboard combinations, such as FN+INSERT, to take a screen
capture. Check the information that came with your computer or the
manufacturer's website for more information.

To copy the entire screen
Press PRINT SCREEN.

To copy only an active window
Press ALT+PRINT SCREEN.

Tip
You can paste your screen capture into Paint, which is a drawing program you
can use to crop, rotate, and resize pictures.

To paste a screen capture into a Paint file
Click to open Paint.

Click Edit, and then click Paste.

You must first paste it into Paint or some other image program and save it
as as file. Close the imaging program and attach the file.
