    I tried to make a screenshot, but it seems Print Screen button is not working.

    I have dv6000, and Windows XP is installed. I tried CTRL + Prt Sc, ALT etc... Does not work...

    CTRL+PrtSc then CTRL+V doesn't work?



    What are you trying to capture as well?

    You press and hold the [fn] key then hit the [prt sc] also known as insert key once, after which you paste the image into a paint document.

    You paste by clicking the paste button or by:

    press and hold [ctrl] then tap the letter [v] once.



    I assure you this is how it's done, exactly.

    And if you just want to grab the active window, just press and hold, [ctrl]+[FN] and tap [prt sc].

    I know that CTRL + V = Paste

    But it doesn`t work

    when I press just Prt Scr (Insert)

    or even CTRL + Prt Scr (Insert)...

    This key works on my desktop keyboard. When I need to take a screen shot I just press Print Screen button and then paste it into Photoshop or Paint.
