I am guessing its the key after F12 ? Thats what ive been pressing ?

yeah (PRT SCRN), have u tried it in a different USB slot? Might have to do with the USB. If not RMA it and get a new one.

What are you trying to capture? Is it something that you could capture using a previous keyboard?

This is a workaround and not an elegant one but could you try using the On Screen Keyboard (Start menu - accessories - accessibility) to see if the print screen function works at all, it might not be down to the keyboard if a Windows file has become corrupted.

I actually meant by clicking on the print screen button on the OSK (and you could still do this in emergencies) but I suppose you have discovered that the keyboard has a dodgy button. You will have a standard 12 month warranty at least, if bought new, so you could RMA it if it bothers you enough.

yes i might ring them today

just checking - you know screen print doesn't actually print anything. In windows it just sticks the image on the clipboard so you have to paste it into an app to do anything clever like printing it. At least thats how I use it.

Try holding ALT or CTRL when you press it.

You do know you have to paste the image captured into a graphics ap right?...

Your last comment just lost me.
