Taking a Screen Shot

[Gwyneth 10]

I'm struggling to do a Screen Shot, I'm using the prtscn button and then going into "Paint" but I can't view the screen shot, can anybody advise where I'm going wrong please

Are you 'Pasting' once in paint? (CTRL+V)

 

Then file...save as etc.

I've tried that but am still not seeing the image :confused:

Maybe your print screen function is on a function key which some keyboards have , try pressing the Fn key & print screen

 

Does copy and paste work? Could be clipperboard service not running

 

See if the onscreen keyboard also has the print screen function

 

Also try shift& printscr or Ctrl & printscr

Have a look if the screenshot's on your clipboard, go to RUN in your Windows start menu and type "clipvrd" (without the quotes) and if the item's there you'll be able to paste it into Paint, if not then you might not have copied it properly.

For reference, you could've use the Last Freeware Version of FastStone Capture to grab your screen (or portion of, or active window ...).
