Guest Michael W Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Does the 'print screen' command (button on keyboard) still put the image in the clipboard for subsequent paste? I just bought this HP with Vista and it doesnt seem to do what i have been doing for years. I tried to follow some of the threads in this site but non said anything about it being an issue with Vista, and i searched for 'clipbrd.exe' and didnt find it. any suggestions PS I am new to discussion group queries thanks m

I can copy the screen to the clipboard using PrtScreen, then paste into a program that is capable of receiving an image. "Clipbrd.exe" is the clipbook viewer program - for viewing the contents of the clipboard. I don't think that it is included with Vista (probably because almost no one used it?). Did you get a new keyboard too? Some that I have seen require you to hit the key twice (to keep from accidentally triggering the function), or perhaps press some other key as well to enable the function. Some newer keyboards also have a "Fn lock" key which turns on/off the function keys (and perhaps other keys such as PrtScreen as well).
Guest Michael W Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Re: PrtScn Command still work in Vista? That was it!! Thank you. it was the "F-Lock" key. I pushed it once and and then my print screen began to work. Phew! it doesnt get any easier than that to fix something. I was dreading the "go here, then copy this, and move it there, and run this...etc) thanks again m (Right after i posted this, i noticed that i was in a "WindowsXP general" area. i didnt think anyone would respond.)
