What happened to holding the shift key and pressing Print function to capture the screen? then paste it into a Paint File
Anyone?
I get an error message says can not do...
Since when can they remove a feature already incorporated?
Alternatives and or how to add the feature back...

With my laptop I have to use FN+ALT+PRTSC to do a screen capture to paste it into Paint but Desktops don't have a FN key.
I've never had a Desktop but are you sure you were previously using SHIFT+ and not ALT+ ?

Hi, on my desktop ALT + Print Screen just copies the active window, whichever program is in the foreground (active), while Shift (or Ctrl) + Print Screen copies the whole of the visible window on screen. Hope this helps...

Yes, the FN+ALT+PRTC just copies what is active on my laptop as well and FN+CTRL+PRTC captures the lot, but I just tend to use the Snipping Tool in Win 7 to capture whatever I want to paste into a reply box.
Sometimes a full screen capture needs reducing to paste into a reply box because of size restrictions of a given forum.

I use picpick, a versatile free prog that does a variety of screen grabs including scrolling. It also has an editor for adding shapes, arrows, text etc.

Hi, Normally tab the print screen button, select control c and then open Paint place the cursor by mouse clicking on the paint opening page, and then select cont V to paste it . It should work. If not , there is some other problem
