I love this feature, whose button is usually next to F12, but what do you have to do to install it? Most people I run into never use it or don't know about the feature even if they use PCs everyday. Does anyone use the Print Screen feature which I find handy when printing for instance an important pop up window? Pop ups are usually unprintable in the normal 'print job' set up.

if your keyboard is fully-recognized on the computer management>device manager, it should work. do you have an f-lock key?otherwise, just install the setpoint/intellitype shit from logitech/ms. find it on majorgeeks.com and input devices

the only lock on the keyboard is 'numbers lock' if that's what you mean. Other than that , no, no F-Lock. Thanks for the majorgeeks.

In Firefox preferences, go to the content tab, next to click on advanced and unmark "disable or replace context menus". Done, right-click-save-as away!

Click to expand
F Lock is on newer keyboards.

I use Print Screen like Steph does. Once I have the screen capture I'll take it into an image editor to crop what I want.

If you want to do a screen capture of a video image you may have to disable Direct Draw in Direct X (run dxdiag).
