Print Screen Key disabled

[Jill]

I am trying to use the print screen key to paste and then
edit some pictures, but the print screen key is
disabled. Is there another way to do this or a way
around this?

Thanks in advance,
Jill

Are you trying to paste into Publisher? Can you paste into Paint?

What are you trying to capture?
What version Windows do you have? Has the key worked in the past? Can you copy/paste?
If you are trying to capture an image from the Internet, empty your cache, in IE,
tools, Internet Options, delete files.

I'm trying to capture them from a CD, it is a jpg. I
have Windows XP with Office XP and so far I haven't been
able to get anything to work. When I click on the actual
jpg's on the CD to open them within another application
it says image not available, but they are there in the
software on the CD.

I just found screen capture software on the internet. Do
you think this would work?

Can you insert the images into Word or Publisher from the insert menu? Right-click an
image on the CD, properties, what application opens the image?

Jill you need some *very* basic lessons in Windows.

Since you seem to know so much why do you tell me how to
do it "BRAINS." Because if this CD is opened the print
screen key is disabled and you can't use it for any
application. There is VB code to do this. I am a
programmer so I know Windows quite well.

For your information, I did find software that would
allow this to happen.

So, no, I don't need *very* basic lessons. I had several
programmers take a look at this. It's much easier
to "assume" it's easy when you don't see it.

Thanks for your "advice" though!

Thanks for all your help, Mary. I was able to find a way
to do it. I had already tried inserting from a file into
just about every application. I ended up finding
software the is called screen captures. There are
several out there and it worked great! Now I can bring
the images into any application I would like.

Thanks again for your help!
Jill

Jill,

I hope you are not doing this for hi-res commercial printing.

Why do you have to take a capture of them - why not just copy the file and
open it?
