After discussing it with some of my friends, it seems as most windows programs should be able to utilize a simple PrtScn command to bring up dialogue as to how you want your screen captured. In Win XP home ed. its a matter of using Alt with PrtScn (usually, at least). It makes sense though, that a piece of hardware could affect this, ie. keyboard. My keyboard is an ergonomic split design from MS. I was not able to capture my screen at all until EricofSD told me about the software 20/20(freeware). This capturing software is really quite nice. It has some very helpful features. If you haven't tried it I would reccommend it. There URL is posted in Ericof SD's posting higher in this string.
