HOW TO PRINT SCREEN?

Hi

I simply use Alt Prt Scrn. This puts the view that is on the screen into memory. Then, I paste it into another application such as Word or email. Works everytime. I'm using XP home with lots of memory, 640. Are you memory limited, perhaps

I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE PRINT SCREEN KEY ON MY
KEYBOARD TO WORK. EVERY OTHER BUTTON WORKS ON MY
KEYBOARD BUT THAT ONE. I DONT KNOW IF I HAVE TO CHANGE
SOME OPTIONS OR WHAT. I'VE TRIED ALT-PRINT SCREEN, CTRL
PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT-PRINT SCREEN, THE WINDOW BUTTON-PRINT
SCREEN, NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. I AM JUST TOTALLY
PUZZLED. MY COMPUTER IS ONLY ABOUT A YEAR OLD, AND I HAVE
AN HP. THE PRINTER I USE IS A HP PHOTOSMART 7150. IF
THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP ME PLEASE DO SO,
CUZ I THINK I'VE JUST PULLED OUT MY LAST STRAND OF HAIR

THANX

processor or spreadsheet program, press control/V to paste
the information from screen you can print there. If you
use alt/printscreen it will only copy the active page.
