Huh, the print screen key won't work.

[Biggie]

On a newer computer than I used to use, I need to screen capture, but when I press the PRTSCN key it doesn't copy the screen and I am unable to paste. Any help would be great.

sometimes they have stupid things like you have to push a button to activate the key pad. see if there is any of that, you can even try installing the keyboard disks to try to help. not sure what else there is to do.

My laptop requires that I hold the [Fn] button to PrtScr.

Don't you also have to hold Control to screen cap?

I always had to press Alt-PRNTSCRN... I assumed it was assumed that Alt had to be held...

I had the same problem, and the same solution.

I'm still unable to get screenshots of Starcraft working, though.

alt-prntscrn takes a screen of the window. You don't NEED to hold alt to take a screenshot.
