I have no "print screen" key on my Windows7 keyboard? Does anyone know
how I can capture the screen image. Thanks.

You might have to look at the manual that came with your keyboard to
find which key(s) it uses.

This freeware program works fine in Win7 Starter. It's not as useful as
PrtScr but it may fulfil some of its functions.

A link would be useful, although I guess I could Google for "This

I do have a netbook, so in fact, thanks for the heads up.

You could use this free program called JetScreenshot. It allows you to
capture the whole screen, windows, or any area you specify. The nice
thing is that you can assign the shortcut used to anything that you
want. You can learn more about it and download it here:

If you have Starter and no Snipping Tool, AFAIK, this works in Win7. It's
free and you can crop before you save. No bells and whistles, but better
than screwing around with Paint, IMO.

Seconded. One of the computers here at my house has Printkey 2000 Free
and it works well.

MWSnap's biggest drawback is that it runs in Windows while the Print Screen
button (PrtScr) is really useful for catching the sort of error message that
pops up in front of everything else.
This software would be great eg for someone preparing a Powerpoint lecture
about software since you can select a small area of the screen rather than
having to edit your screen print with Irfanview

Check your owner's manual to see what key combination corresponds to
PrintScreen. If there isn't one, I'll bet you can program it with
Autohotkey. (I use Autohotkey a lot, but haven't tried anything with
a PrintScreen key explicitly.)
There are lots of hits when I google for
printscreen autohotkey

I also like Printscreen 2000, but it won't address Karen's issue of
not having a PrtScrn key on her keyboard.

Hold down the Alt Key and at the same time press the Print Screen key.
The picture is then in memory. Now open your graphics program and just
do a paste.

Thanks for the link
I have my share of blond moments too, and I also was a brunet before I
went grey.
Meanwhile, I discover that my netbook has a PrtScrn button which works.
I haven't checked on the Snipping Tool, since I couldn't remember its
name when I had the netbook on.
I also downloaded and tried jetScreenshot, which adds functionality to
the laptop; it was mentioned by Roy Smith in this thread.
I'll look at MWSnap too.

It works on my netbook running Win 7 Starter.
