No Print Screen Key On My Laptop - Workaround?

OGB03

Can anyone help with this? I'm thinking that whilst there isn't an actual dedicated key for this function, it's probably lurking under the guise of another key/function. Makro for this perhaps?

I use a wireless keyboard a lot, but recently have found it really annoying not being able to do this on the laptop keyboard itself. I sense a really simple answer coming to this 'problem'.... :rolleyes:

Thanks In Advance.

You could create your own hotkey short cut, I am sure there is a way to do in within Win Xp but you could use the following program.

What laptop is it ?
You can always download a screen capture prog

Here's another free program called 'Printdesktop'!! http://www.printdesktop.com/ Gives you a shortcut from the start menu or hot-key options.

It is probably Fn key + Insert key.

Thanks everyone. I'm just glad it wasn't something really obvious that I was missing. I've investigated some of the software programs mentioned but now need to go back and see which one is best.

Cheers

Tried this but can't work out a way to not have the osk on the screenshot itself - DOH! How can I get around this?
