My windows XP will not take screenshots using the PrtScr
button on the keyboard. It is definatly the PC as the
keyboard is fine. I know how to use it. It will not make
and copy the screenshot to the clipboard. I really need
this function to make screenshots for my website and I do
not know why it will not work. I have tried taking
stickey keys and filter keys off (as another site
suggested) but it has no effect.
 
paint - photoshop - word | it just does not work

What application are you trying to paste the screen shot into?

try a camera then.
Have you checked keyboard properties to see if the key has
been disabled or remapped?
