  Why wouldn't my print screen work anymore? When I press that key it does absolutely nothing. Not sure when I used it last but it did work.

  Last time was DOS?

  Now print screen works like copy and paste screen.

  Press Alt+Prt Scr and you will just copy the front dialogue box.

  I didn't but a friend suggested that to me. Truth is I have no idea how to get into paint to even try that.

  When I used it (print screen) before a window would open asking if I wanted to save it and if so, where. Now nothing at all happens.
