Screen print vista

I am trying to take a screen print in vista but when I press the screen print
key and then try to paste it to paint or word the paste or paste all function
is not available. Any ideas.

I had no problem.

Otherwise try Irfanview: http://www.irfanview.net/
Install in root (C:\Irfanview)

Are you using the correct keys?

It's Alt+PrintScreen the Ctrl+V to get a copy of a single window.
It's Ctrlt+PrintScreen the Ctrl+V to get a copy of the whole screen.

Fn+Prt Sc and then Ctrl+V (or Edit/Paste or Right-Click+Paste) works for me
to get the whole screen.

If you have Home Premium or higher click start, in search type in "snipping
tool" click to run. It should give you the option of adding it to your
toolbar, I suggest you do.

What happens if you simply press <Ctrl>+<V>?

The "Fn" is normally unnecessary unless you've got some sort of
specialized keyboard.

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the clipboard.
Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to the clipboard (iow,
into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a graphics program, such as MS
Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will paste the contents of the clipboard
(your screenshot) into the open file, and allow you to view it or save it as
a file for later use.

On my laptop, I have to hold down the FN key and PrtSC to get it to copy,
then CTRL+V or the paste works.
