    Hello: because I use a KVM & a mac-type KB, there does not seem to be a "print screen" button. I have tried f12-15 & with the alt key also. Is there an alternative to capturing the screen when there is no "print screen" key for XP? Thanks.

    Hi...

    Microsoft has a built in "On-screen Keyboard "...I use it all the time on my Laptop for the Numerical Keypad as I have a couple programs at work that requires a num pad. Anyways there is a "PSC" key that you click for Print Screen.

    I can't remember where I found it but here is the actual post...

    Other than redefining your keyboard (which could cause other problems) I'd say a third party program would be the solution...

    Have a look at Gadwin PrintScreen for capturing screens or active windows (and other features). The default hot key for this program is "print screen" but can be redefined.

    Perhaps not the best solution but a solution non-the-less.
