Is it possible to enable the Print Screen Button, and if
so how? My button does nothing when pressed.I've tried
Alt & Ctrl combinations but nothing seems to work.

Jere,
The 'Print Screen' button will copy the screen image to the clipboard
memory.
You then need to open an image program to view/work with/print it.
In the program header bar, click 'edit' then 'paste' or even more obvious -
'paste from clipboard' and the screen image will appear.
Hope this helps
Chek

Greetings --

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. 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.
