How to Press Print Screen with an Insert on Top?
I was on my assignment and was searching all over the internet on how to get that freakin button on! I'm using a laptop and my "insert" button has "the prt sc" (print screen) below it. So I was like, "okay they (my friends) said press Shift + Print Screen and the shot will be taken". So I went to Paint to paste the image but none came out! So that means I didn't get any screenshot! Geez!

So out I went on the net to search for it, where I practically went to the fifth page of the search and found this forum where people ask people on techs. chiafruitguild, a member of the forum, asked the same question I had. Luckily M.Hirsch, another member of the group answered the question!

"Probably there is an additional META-Key, "Fn", that you have to press and hold. Sometimes you have to switch "Num Lock" off. But you should read your notebook's documentation, this depends on your specific model."

I tried all and found out just like chiafruitguild did, it was the fn button! It's situated on next to the ctrl button on the left side of the keyboard. Geez! =Z

  7. Thanks a lot, I also tried to press Shift (and some other improbable buttons), but I would never say that fn is the key.
