print screen

[JJ]

I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard with a PrtScn key but I can not get the
print screen function to work regardless if I use the key by itself or with
the shift, control, start, or alt keys. It is a useful feature I use
frequently at work but I can not get it to work on my home system.

Suggestions? Thanks

Check, it might be one of those things that has to be done with a
function key. Fn+PrtScn.

But barring that, all I can suggest is a 3rd part program that allows
you to change the hot key for it. PrintScreen is one, HardCopy is
another print screen program. Google for more. I use HardCopy and it
allows to crop the screen before capture and then print / email / copy
to clipboard / save. Most do. 3rd party programs are much more
full featured than the Windows built in feature.

It is unlike the print screen function that Windows 95 and 98 had. Do a
Google search for print screen and read about it.

Plan A>Google "print screen" and clik on first website

Plan B>Microsoft Windows
Main article: ClipBook Viewer
In some versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system, the contents of
the clipboard can be viewed at any time by using the Clipboard Viewer
(Clipbook Viewer in Windows XP and 2000) application (clipbrd.exe). In older
versions of Windows the common practice was to open a copy of the "Notepad"
or "Wordpad" editor, and paste into that. Often these operations are
available from the "Edit" pull down menu and they may be available via a
context menu, usually accessible by context-clicking in the window or dialog
entry that is to be cut from or pasted into.

The standard Windows keybindings are:

Ctrl-c to copy data onto the clipboard
Ctrl-x to cut data to the clipboard
Ctrl-v to paste data from the clipboard
alternative keybindings (available in most windows programs)

Ctrl-Insert is copy
Shift-Delete is cut
Shift-Insert is paste
the advantage of the alternative keys is that the fingers can stay close to
the arrow and selection keys when you are editing a large body of text

The Clipbook Viewer was removed entirely in Windows Vista.

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display, including the
Desktop Wallpaper, to the clipboard (iow, into RAM). Pressing
<ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to the clipboard. To view
the screen capture, open a graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press
<CTRL>+V. This will paste the contents of the clipboard (your
screenshot) into the open file, and allow you to view it or save it as a
file for later use.

Actually, it's exactly the same as it was in Win9x.
