I have a dell computer and desperately need to take a screenshot. However, when I press the print Screen key, nothing is saved to the clipboard so when I try to paste it into notepad, there is nothing there.

The key itself says "Print screen " on the top half and "Sysreq" on the bottom half. I have tried holding down CTRL or ALT or SHIFT with it but I cannot seem to get it to take a screenshot - am I doing something wrong or could it possibly be disabled on this computer?
