Just pres the key on your keyboard that says 'print screen', it's
situated above your 'insert'-key.
When you press it, you take a screenshot of your whole screen, when you
hold alt while pressing it, you take a screenshot of the active window only.
The screenshot is then placed on the clipboard, you can paste it in
Word, Painter, ...

As my Print Scrn button never worked I downloaded "Purrint" from PC World,
works great.

I assume you mean you can't _save_ anything. (I don't know why
thaty should be true, but I'll pass that. :-)

Alt + PrtSc will capture the current window, PrtSc without Alt will
capture the entire screen. Either way, go to your favorite image
program or MS Word and do Edit... Paste.
