for some fucked up reason my fucking computer is not letting me print screen web pages. And for some other fucked up reason ms office is completely gone and I even checked restore and logs with no results.

First off I need to figure out wtf prtscn isn't working and second of all I need a photo editor/ms word to paste into to print it. It should at least be able to paste into an email or ms-paint ffs.

Windows xp pro btw.

Any ideas?

All I can think of is the prtscn button is broken but I doubt it and I have no other keyboard to test it on.

I've seen some websites somehow shut down the ability to capture screen shots so people don't swipe protected content. Try using print screen when you've got your browser closed?

Try Open Office (http://www.openoffice.org/). Free, open source and highly functional.

Do you have a "Function" lock on your keyboard, sometimes they remap the printscreen key. You can also try a third party printscreen program like bugshooting.

As for office not being there, can't tell you how you did that.

Tried that and tried just doing an alt-prntscn as well.
