Okay, so i have an issue.
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b) someone said that it was cause it was outdated, and it's only functionable by lower versions of windows...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? :(

You press alt+printscrn, if taking a screenshot is what you want to do.

Sorry, it is alt+printscrn

My print screen button has 3 different functions though. It says: PrtScn
SysRq (?wtf)
Insert...

To be honest, i dont know how to select each one in particular...so... *sigh* i hate my keyboard right now

it works in xp too. remember that you have to paste it somewhere afterwards, like ms paint.

Okay, when you press printscrn, do you then try to paste it in a document?

Because nothing happens when you press it, once you paste your image, then you'll be able to see it
