ok next question. when I hit the button nothing happens, should a window pop up or something?

nope, nothing will happen. Just go to your paint program, go to the top left of your screen, drop down to paste, and paste it in

Another tip for screenshots is if you have a window open on your screen and you only want to capture that smaller window without getting the whole screen you can hold Alt and press Print Screen and you will only capture the current window that is open. This way when you open say an image of a card in a new window on your screen you can capture just the window with the card instead of your whole screen. Hopefully my long winded explanation makes sense.

Give it a try and see how it works.

Thanks.

Andy, thanks for that ALT tip.

For those with a Droid. The Dolphin browser has a screen capture add on (all free) that has a built-in crop function too. Works slick and easy. Maybe for iPhone too.
