Hi George,

It works fine, whenever you hit that key, whatever is on the screen is =
copied to the clipboard. From there, you must paste it into an =
application (like MSPaint) for editing and printing.

At any time after you have logged into your computer, you can push print
screen. An image of the screen will be copied to the clipboard. Next go into
a program such as paint or word, and go edit > paste.

Actually, you can do a screen capture before you logon...the
other day I booted to my logon screen and used prtscn to
capture the window. Then logged on, opened Paint and pasted
the image.
I'd paste it here but don't to use the space or HTML...

You can also see what you copied to the Clipbrd (clip board) by typing on
the Start, Run line:
clipbrd and hitting Enter or clicking OK.

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.
