Printscreen not taking screencaps


Anesthesia

Recommended Posts

My printscreen key isn't capturing the whole desktop to the clipboard. When I use printscreen on its own, nothing happens. If I use alt+printscreen, capturing one window works just fine.

 

 

 

My machine is:

 

A64 3700+

 

1GB DDR400

 

6800GT

 

XP Pro SP1

 

IBM Model M keyboard

 

 

 

It seems like the problem goes away after restarting, but it has happened before meaning it comes back. I don't have any spyware/adware/anything malicious on my machine (I can't be bothered having to prove it, I keep an eye on my processes). Aside from the normal windows processes some of the long-term (running pretty much all the time) ones I have running are:

 

 

 

Antivirus (CA's "EzAntivirus")

 

Gainward's controller for my GPU

 

MBM

 

Samurize

 

Activesync for my PDA

 

Process Explorer

 

Raindlendar

 

Firefox

 

1 thing I can't mention whose latter syllable of 2 rhymes with pool

 

Trillian

 

 

 

I repeat: there's nothing wrong with my keyboard, alt+printscreen works fine.

 

 

 

Anyone know what could be going on?

Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
