    "Print Screen" works fine for me in IE7 (although I am using XP Pro), as far as I understand it, "Print Screen" is independent of the actual application as it just grabs whatever is displayed on your screen.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Is there a function key that you need to press to get Prt Scr?

    Have you tried a normal wired keyboard, it would tell you if the problem is with the keyboard or the software
