122931 2003-02-21 07:54:00 On XP, how do I get the "Print Screen" button to work so that I get a print of only what is on screen. Thanks. Poppa John. Poppa John (284)

122933 2003-02-21 08:18:00 Sorry....tried that, but it didn't work.
With my previous computer, I could press Print Screen and get exactly what was on screen. With XP, and this keyboard, the Print Screen button just doesn't work at all.

122934 2003-02-21 08:22:00 You should be able to press the Print Screen key. Then you will need to paste the image into Paint or similar. -=JM=- (16)
122935 2003-02-21 18:27:00 Using WinXP and this keyboard I just used PrintScreen > open PaintShopPro > Edit > Paste as new image and voila.

The option definitely works under WinXP.

Have you tried another keyboard?
