Pressing the Print Scrn key will take a picture of whatever is displayed on
the monitor and save it in the Clipboard.
There is a PrintNow program that will configure your Print Scrn to send the
monitor display to the printer.
If you wish a copy of the program, send me an email and I'll attach it to a
reply.

I understand that but what I was wondering was how did it work? For example
when you pressed the PrtScr key did it immediately pop open a window that
showed the captured image or did you have to open another program and paste
what was in the clipboard in order to see the capture?

Sorry I misunderstood; yes, when I used to press it, the captured image was
caught within the Window for Saving - no other program or Pasting involved,
& now it does nothing.
Thanks

If that's what you meant, you are mistaken. What you say hasn't been
true since way back in DOS. It's never been true in Windows. When you
press the key, the image goes to the clipboard, and there's nothing to
see until you paste it somewhere.
Here's my standard post on the subject:
Back in the days of DOS, the PrtScn key used to print the screen. But
in all versions of Windows, this works differently, and the name of
the key is now an anachronism. PrtScrn captures the whole screen, and
Alt-PrtScrn captures the active window.
Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard. Once it's in
the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any application that
supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics programs, even your
favorite word processor). You can edit or add to the image as you
wish, then print it.
This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing it
is an improvement over the original DOS method of just printing it.
But if you'd like that old facility back, there are several
third-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this, such as

Ah yes. Then you need third party software to do what you saw happening
before. I use PrintKey and it is great
http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/printkey_info.htm
Your Prt Scr Key is likely functioning fine, and it has to working in order
for it to work with the above app. You can test it by pressing the key then
opening a program like MSPaint and do a Paste (Ctrl-V).
