Window Xp will not take PrtScr Screenshot (UPDATED)

[lee]

My windows XP will not take screenshots using the PrtScr
button on the keyboard. It is definatly the PC as the
keyboard is fine. I know how to use it. It will not make
and copy the screenshot to the clipboard. I really need
this function to make screenshots for my website and I do
not know why it will not work. I have tried taking
stickey keys and filter keys off (as another site
suggested) but it has no effect.

What application are you trying to paste the screen shot into?

Hi

Have you tried a different keyboard to make sure that yours is OK?

try a camera then.
Have you checked keyboard properties to see if the key has
been disabled or remapped?
