Some may think this spam, but whatever. On any keyboard you have a printscreen button (aka screendump) that basically copies the whole of your screen right? I was just wondering if it was possible to use that printscreen button on windows XP ... cause a) mine aint working b) someone said that it was cause it was outdated, and it's only functionable by lower versions of windows... Can anyone help with that? :(

Because nothing happens when you press it, once you paste your image, then you'll be able to see it Fauna Posted at 8:03 am on Aug. 23, 2008 oh roight, I have no ides as to its purpose anyway. h a t t Posted at 7:58 am on Aug. 23, 2008 Quote: from Fauna at 10:57 am on Aug. 23, 2008 it's next to the windows start menu button. desktop keyboards don't have it Fauna Posted at 7:57 am on Aug. 23, 2008 it's next to the windows start menu button.
