I need a new screenshot utility, my old faithful Mgrab that I used for so many years won't work with this computer, I don't have a PrtScn button! I just want something that will caputre the screen when I press a button that I can choose. Anyone have a suggestion?

HAHA you do to have a print screen button! Read the Boot Camp manual on which function key it is Wink

Give "fn+F11" a try Wink

Get fraps. It's a payware product but you can do movies rapid fire assign the keys and it shows your fps which won't show in the shot. I'm happy with it. Wink

Fairly certain fn+F11 will just lower the volume

Fairly certain that it will bypass whats already printed on the key Wink

Unless you have it set already to use the F# keys as F# keys and not the special function keys.

That's in OSX, this is Windows 7 on a partition Wink

ndude, when I press fn+F11 with it set to do the special function and not the normal, that just presses F11, which in the case of say google chrome is full screen, so that's not it

Are you using an Apple keyboard? Try fn + shift + F11 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1171
