Hi,
My mother tryed to send me a copy of her screen by user the Print Screen
function, but when she paste it into an Outlook email she only get a useless
little icon with a monitor and an arrow on it.

Do you know if we can reassign the Print Screen function to its normal duty?

Thanks

She first has to save it to the hard drive and then attach that file.

She can open Paint and paste it into an empty page and then save that page
as a ,jpg file

See if she can click Edit->Paste As or Past Special. She might be able to
paste it as a picture from there.
 
Thanks Frank,
I forget to tell you that she uses Word as editor for Outlook message.
Basically I have the same configuration (I think & hope) but I can paste a
print-screen copy to my email, she can't... Poor Mum!

Not if she's using Outlook Express.

Try using ScreePrint32 from http://www.provtech.co.uk/main/default.asp - you
can set it to save the screen as a file to attach to an email
