Before I scream like a true Decepticon, how in the blazes do I get print screen to work?:mad2: I picked up a tip from the forum here the other week, wrote it down on a piece of paper and it worked every time. Now it seems that my note has gone missing, probably innocently consumed by the Paper, Sticky Tape and Staple Monster that is my 6 year old daughter!!:lol: I've tried Alt+PrtScn to clipboard, then Ctl+V to paste it, but it does not work in CS2 or 3 or in Paint even.:shrug:

Or, you could give yourself a few more options by using a small program called Lightscreen. I reckon it rocks!
