Print screen not working

[Tim Fenn]

Hello! I'm trying to print the screen when using Quicken 2002 in Windows XP
Professional. Nothing seems to work, the Print Screen button does nothing be
itself, when used with shift key, and when used with Alt. Key. Quicken help,
and Gateway help also had no help. Any ideas anybody?

Hi Tim,

Once you've hit the PrintScreen key (and alt+printscreen sends only the =
active window), the image is sent to the clipboard, you can view this by =
clicking start/run and entering clipbrd.exe.

Once you have an image on the clipboard, it needs to be pasted into a =
program for editing or printing, such as MSPaint (just open paint and =
click edit/paste).

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.

I am using a program called PrintKey 2000. At the time I downloaded and
installed it was free. Works great. Press the PrtScn key and a window comes
up which allow you to do many things with the screen. 1) print the entire
screen 2) Select what on the screen you want to print. 3) save it as a
picture 4) copy it to Clipboard. I've used it on Win95, Win98 and now on
WinXP. The present version is no longer free. But if it works as well as the
free version it is worth the bucks. Search ZDnet or Cnet they may have
another free version that works as well that is how I found PrintKey.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows (not just Windows XP),
this works differently, and the name of the key is now an
anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then E-mail it to your friend or print
it.

This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing
it is an improvement over the original DOS method of just
printing it. But if you'd like that old facility back, there are
several third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this.
