Print Screen not working?

[Black Yaris]

so I was trying to do a screen shot as I have always done by hitting "Print Screen" then doing a copy in photoshop.....
but for some reason it is no longer working..... anyone else having this problem or herd of it?

try cntrl + v into MS Paint


has never failed for me.

[Black Yaris]

yeah.... i did all the obvious stuff
it is not just copying to the clipboard for some reason

[Black Yaris]

nope.... tried that as well

[tuckevalastin]

well i know there are certain things that u cant screen capture without using an outside program, hopefully for you thats all it is

well I did screen shots of the exact same site, using the same browser before.... it just stopped working for some reason... maybe a stupid xp update or something

Try alt+print screen to grab the in-focus window or Ctrl+print screen to grab the entire screen...

Try doing Ctl + Alt + Printscreen and then paste into ms paint.
Does that work?
