Print Screen Command Not Working
Feb 13, 2009
I can't seem to access the Print Screen command function. I have followed the directions given in MS Help. They say the following: To print the ENTIRE SCREEN: click on PrtScrn on your keyboard. This captures and stores in the clipboard everything showing on your screen, including opened property menus and dialogues. If you then open Paint you can use the Paste function to see the captured image. To print just the ACTIVE WINDOW on the screen: Use Alt+PrtScrn... Copies only the ACTIVE window. So, you would get whatever window is open, neatly cut out already, on the clipboard ready to paste in to your favorite image app. When I click on PrtScrn or Alt + PrtScrn nothing happens. When I go into Clipboard and Paint, there is no image, and the "Paste" command is grayed out, so I can't even access it. What am I doing wrong? I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64x and MS Office Home and Student.

Vista Ultimate - 64 bit. In one of my folders, I have an extensive sub- folder tree which I'd like to print out as a Word file. Here's what I've done:
1. I click Start | Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt
2. Using the CD command, I get to the head folder of the desire sub-folder tree
3. If I then run the command "Tree", the sub-folder tree scrolls by quickly in the desired format - i.e., like a genealogy chart, with lines connecting the various levels.
But if I try to pipe the output to a text or Word file using the command tree>tree.txt or tree>.tree.doc, I get the tree. But the nice lines linking the various levels are replaced by a sequence of bogus characters. The maddening thing is that I was earlier able to get the nice chart into a Word document. But I neglected to record the steps, and can't reproduce them.

i am looking for a program i used to have on XP, its called bo-shot. basically what it does is let you make screen shots (ingame for example) and automatically saves the SS as jpg into a folder.
i am aware you can use print screen and then paste into paint for example but what i would like to do is make multiple screen shots while in game without leaving game to paste the pics.

Seems that I can no longer use PRTSCN key. Are there known issues? For example, particular software interfering with the key's use? Is there a way to reset the keyboard? I believe that I was able to use the key a while back,

I have a print job at the top of a list of others that is frozen. It's an 11 page document that says it is a 21 page. I have tried to delete it to no avail and since have deleted the other jobs and restarted the computer only to have it reprint the first half, as far as it got before, then stopped. Where else can I go in the computer to delete this. I have alot of work yet to do and would prefer to not have to uninstal and reinstal the printer. I had set the printer HPOfficejet 6480 to print both sides which may be why it printed only half the pages? No matter the issue I believe is in the software.

I'm having the same problem but with an HP Laserjet 1022. I have reinstalled the LJ 1022 several times, but when you print from Adobe it kicks the spooler out. What you can do is unplug the printer from the computer, reboot and the spooler will come back. Then you reinstall the printer drivers/ software, plug it in when asked for and as long as the user doesn't print an Adobe PDF, the printer won't kick out. I believe this to be an HP issue with their driver that is almost 1yr old.

I am writing to this Forum in desperation because I cannot find any way to get in touch by email with Windows Live OneCare even though I am a paid subscriber. I have NOT had a good experience of MS tech support. After 18 months of endless problems with Windows VISTA Ultimate Edition V 6001 I now wish to reformat my computer and get RID of it altogether, replacing it with System 7 for which I have a serial number and a beta download from the recent Microsoft online download offer.
As VISTA seems to have eleminated DOS altogether and the old FDisk command doesn't work from a command line start, I have tried to reformat from my OEM Vista Ultimate Edition re-installation DVD which I am certain used to offer me reformat and partitioin delete as the first options but that no longer seems to offer me any reformat option at all and not only instists only on re-installing VISTA (which I no longer want) but leaves the old installation in a directory renamed "WindowsOld" which VISTA will then not allow me to delete....

In my 64-bit installation, the print spooler server suddenly stopped running (and will not restart). I've tried cleaning out registry keys (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlPrint), deleting the files out of Windows (C:WindowsSystem32spool) to no avail. The system log contains many of these:Error Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider7034None The application log contains these:WarningSpoolerSpoolss1035NoneThe print spooler failed to load print provider localspl.dll. This can occur because of system instability or a lack of system resources.ErrorSpoolerSpoolss1027None The system failed to initialize the local print provider: Error 0. This can occur because of system instability or a lack of system resources.

I've been trying to figure out how to make a command prompt run a command line as soon as the box comes up.
I need this to happen all from one command line. A command prompt needs to open with "echo hi" being ran as a command line.

I'm having trouble with the REN command with wild cards as used from the command prompt. For example, in the REN command help, it says: "For example, if you had files that are named smitha.doc, smithb.doc, and smithc.doc, you could use the ren smith*.doc smythe*.doc command. All file names automatically show the new spelling, and are renamed smythea.doc, smytheb.doc, and smythec.doc.".........

running vista 64 SP1 RTM cannot print from IE nor print preview unless I turn UAC off in control panel. Cannot print even if opening IE as admin. (some sort of error message about C:/users/username/appdata/local/temp/low/ and some files therein.) Note, on a different machine with vista 32 SP1 beta2 refresh (never got around to installing SP1 RTM on this box) - UAC enabled and no print problem at all

We have recently got new hardware and upgraded to Vista. We have also just changed to fully networked printing. We are having some printing funnies, but mainly when printing from Excel - no idea why. Here is a selection of the printing problems we have had:
File-Print: Print dialog does not appear
File-Print/Print: Does not print, no printing message
File-Print/Print: Looks like it prints to printer (see printing message), but nothing prints out...........................................................................

Going to try to keep this short and sweet given that I am having to use a combo of the keyboard on my notebook and the on screen keyboard. Certain keys are not workng right. I tried changing the kboard language in the control panel and that didn't work. I checked on my manufacturers website for a driver but i don't know which driver is for the keyboard. I have an Acer Aspire 5610. The keys with the problems seem to be what the right hand would normally typing

When trying to launch games that run in full-screen it starts up, then minimize itself, leading me back to the desktop.It still runs in the background apparently, but it will minimize right back down when I click it again. No error message at all. It used to work fine until about a month ago. I have no idea what caused this and how to fix it.

another problem with this OS, it seems once an hour my Windows Explorer will completely kick the bucket. What happens is all the windows and tabs at the bottom of the screen stop working and kind of migrate to the bottom left all mashing together making everything practically useless. So I end up have to end explorer.exe and resterting it.

I started out with Vista Ultimate on my new PC i get every now and than the famous BSOD. My PC is running 24x7 so most of the times it happens when I'm not sitting behind the pc. in the beginning (2 months ago) it happend about once a day, after a few later updates is only happend about once every 4 or 5 days.The only thing noticable I see is that after the PC rebooted from the BSOD the wireless network is not working (Siemens Gigaset USB Adapter 108) that is easily resolved by unplugging the USB connecter and plug it in again.
Yesterday I installed the Windows Updates that where published on April 8th, with the result that the BSOD now occured every 2 hours (not exactly but more or less) and after the third time I decided the uninstall all the security updates from that batch that i could uninstall. There were a few other updates but Office related that I left installed and on security update that I was unable to uninstall (the prereq update for SP1: KB938371). After rebooting the pc it has so far worked perfectly again for approx 20 hours.I have no clue of what migth be causing the problem,

I'd like to put a little disclaimer out here: I know very little about computers. I can navigate my way around them as needed for personal/school usage. Outside of that, my knowledge is spotty. Most of the technical stuff I need done on my computer is done by my father over breaks/weekends, because I can't leave my laptop with the Tech guys at my school since I take notes for every class on it.
So now for the computer... Oi. The computer I have is a Dell Inspiron 1420. I got it back in May. It's running Vista Home Premium 32BIT, and I'm using Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 (I don't know if that is relevant or not, but I'll include it just the same). Since I've gotten it, I've had more problems than I can count. The last problem I had before the current one (random BSODs), was a corrupt file on my computer (Dell Support Center). It wouldn't let me download or install anything, and I had to install SystemMechanic on my computer to get rid of the corrupt files/registries (I think. My father actually did this for me.) The SystemMechanic allowed me to uninstall/delete the corrupt file, and voila, it worked! For about two weeks.
Then I started getting blue screens of death. At first it was only one, and there were a few days/week and a half until I got another. And now, in the past two days, I've gotten at least two (I have left my computer sitting on my desk to do something and I have come back to find it "magically" rebooted and waiting for my login, or stuck on the black screen with the blinking underscore).
