On my pc keyboard there is a button called PrtSCn.I cannot get it to work.Is there something in windows I am suppose to turn on to make it work?
 
Not sure, mine also doesn't work sometimes. I'd be very interested if you can find a solution to this annoying problem! (consider this as a free bump).
 
I don't remember exactly when the PrtScn button stopped printing out a picture of the screen, Windows 3.1 is the last time I remember it working right. With all modern versions of Windows when you hit the PrtScn key it paste a copy of the desktop to the clip board as a bmp file. You have to paste the resulting file into a program such as paint or another program that excepts photo formats.

That's how it's suppose to work, but half the time my print screen doesn't even take a picture of the screen.
