I cant figure out why i cant take a screen shot of my
desktop... i have a button on my keyboard "F8" that
says "PrtSc" which i think allows a screen shot.. but it
doesnt work. help me out?
 
The Print Screen key does not send the screen shot directly to the printer,
it is sent to the clipboard. After you press the Print Screen key, open Word
or Paint and paste in your shot. You can then edit it if you wish, then
print it from that application.
 
Greetings --

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard. To view the screen capture, open a graphics program,
such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will paste the contents of
the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open file, and allow you to
view it or save it as a file for later use.
