Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keybaord - Print Screen

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Nevermind I just found the F LOCK KEY.

It is the toggle key that allow a key to have a third funciton. When F LOCK
is on (which it was) the statndard commnads printed on the front of the Key
are enabled

In this case the standard command (insert) was activated and the regular key
commands (Print Screen/SysRQ) was turned off.

Thanks,
Mike

note that alt+printscreen and control+printscreen can also be very helpful.
One takes a full screenshot, the other just the active window. *Very*
useful when recording dialog settings.
