@Grey Alien: the <print screen> dialogue has an option to turn it off - that is, it turns off the notification, it still copies the screen or the open window (alt/prntscrn) to the clipboard. So maybe your print screen dialogue is turned off, if you press <print screen> and then <paste> into a graphics editor, it will probably paste in the screen cap...
just a guess... I'm using win98, I'm assuming that doesn't make much difference...
