Friends

Usually when need to get a screen shot of the desktop on my PC just press on (Prt Scrn) then open word and paste it,
But I can’t do it on my Laptop HP Compaq, OS: wind XP 2002, SP2, I tried to press on (prt sc + alt) and I tried to press the key (prt sc) alone twice but it doesn’t work, does it need special software? Or a different functions to do it?

Any solution I will appreciate,

If the PrintScreen doesn't work, maybe it's a clipboard issue. Can you use clipboard for anything else?
