OK, below is a a basic picture of my keyboard(not my actual keyboard, cause that would requier putting batteries in the camera...lol)I can not cor the life of me figure out how to acess the print screen. I mean I know it is the second last key on the very top row. But I can not get at it . Any ideas?

CTRL+ALT+Minus sign (-)

pressing the printscreen button alone captures the whole screen

alt + printscreen captures the window on top

theyre meant to be pasted in a document such as word.


in your case with a laptop you must press the fn key + the printscreen key

There is a freeware program that does an incredibly better job than Windows Printscreen function. It is called Printkey2000. Take a look - I think you'll find it really easy to use.

wow, thanks, I'm gonna check this one out myself.

the fn key.. is the FUNCTION KEY.. denoted by the box around it.. it will allow you to access the function keys if you hold it down and click the corresponding keys that have function keys pictured on them...


in other words.. like the shift key.. press and hold down the [fn] key, and click insert.


[fn] + alt + insert should allow you to do a COPY PASTE of the ACTIVE print screen. where [fn] + alt + insert is the COPY part.

[fn] + CTRL + Insert should allow you to do an ENTIRE print screen, where everything on your screen will be recorded, not just the active window.

after that, just paste it into paint.exe or any other photoshopping software you have.. including photoshop

If I'm wrong... your laptop sucks.. haha

Although you mean well, you should really test these shortcuts before you accidently missinform people... (while trying to help of course)


that shortcut is for remote desktop connections. I'm pretty sure it means: when pressed, it specifically copies the content coming across a networked TCP port. If that port does not have content coming through it.. it copies nothing.

although I can be wrong, but I tested it.. and got nothing.

goodjob finding that forum and referencing it though, which is what that the person who posted it should have done, as I doubt he has all those memorized.
