    The print screen function is a bit of a hang over from DOS days though some software does make use of it.

    Try using either 'PrintDesktop' from http://www.printdesktop.com/ which will print the desktop or window of your choice, or 'Snippy' from http://www.bhelpuri.net/Snippy/ which will let you select any area of the screen to copy & paste. Both are freeware.

    Go to Start/run,type osk then you can use the psc key on the on-screen keyboard to print screen.
