Printscreen windows 7 pro.

Any idea why my printscreen option would not be working. When i push the printscreen butoon and then go to paste in paint, the paste button is shaded and only paste from is available to select. But i have no idea where the image saves on the pc when u push the prntscrn button. Anyone know what the deal is?

Disregard- remove post. I found out the issue.

Make sure you are hitting the pre-req buttons. I know some laptops require you to hit a FN key etc etc.

Use Irfanview instead of Paint IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide
You'll know where to find image next time.

Well, you just answered my question.

I just bought a laptop and when the Print Screen didn't work I contacted HP. They replied and told me I had to use the FN key in conjunction the Print Screen key for a screen shot.

I never had to do that before and wanted to know if that was normal.

So is this a Windows 7 issue or a laptop quirk?

Hello Vegaspat, and welcome to Seven Forums.

This is a common laptop keyboard issue/requirement instead of Windows 7 to have to press the FN key to use that function on the keyboard. That's all.
