How to Capture Screen Shots in Windows XP proffesional
Using the Print Screen Key. I hit Print Scrn key then try
to paste image into graphics software, but nothing appears.

Thanks,

You're on the right track, but use "Paint" instead...should work...

Personally I've found the freeware version of PrintKey to work very nicely

If you have an Office keyboard, be sure to turn on the Function Lock
before using the Print Screen key.

I don't know what Mike's problem is, but pasting into *any*
graphics software, not just Paint, should work. As a matter of
fact, you can paste into any program that understands graphics,
not just a dedicated graphic program; a word processor like
WordPerfect or Microsoft Word also works fine.
