What operating system and version are you running?

In addition what happens when you try to paste it in a photo-editing program, such as Microsoft Paint?

Hm alright, well taking a screenshot using that OS should definitely work;

(After pressing the 'PrintScn' button, of course).

Are you using a laptop or desktop?

by april scenters miles on Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:51 am

LAPTOP

Does your laptop have a 'FN' key? If so, try holding that key while pressing 'PrintScreen' and see if it works.

by april scenters miles on Mon Sep 13, 2010 2:53 am

yes it does have the FN button i did what u said and nothing

by **Tim** on Mon Sep 13, 2010 2:56 am

Do you have all the necessary drivers installed for your laptop?

by april scenters miles on Mon Sep 13, 2010 2:58 am

yes as far as i know I do...... A few months back i tried to get the print screen button to work and it would not.. I guess i will have to take to the guy up the strret and get him to look at it and see why it is not working..

Did it used to work before? I suspect that it might be a hardware issue, so ya that would be a good idea to have someone take a look at it.

If you'd like, there are many screencapturing software that you could use temporary until you get it fixed, if necessary Happy

Try Clicking the 'fn' button on your laptop keyboard and then printscreen
