This site has a pretty definitive guide of all the random events you can get.

To take a screenshot, look for a button your keyboard that says print scrn (mine is on the very top row). Then go into an image editing program like Paint, and go into the edit menu and click paste. You'll then have a shot of your screen :)

My keyboard can't take screenshots if I have the F-lock on (or off, I can't remember), so if you have an F-lock key, press it and then try taking screenshots?

wheres the f lock
?and what is that ?

My F-lock key is all by itself above the numbers on the right and next to the print screen, and other 2 buttons (I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't remember the other buttons). For me, turning it on allows me to use the screenshot key, but not F1-F12, when it's off... vice versa. It's actually quite annoying.

If you can't find an F-lock key, I have no idea what the problem is.

Don't worry, my keyboard is the only one I've seen with an F-lock key.

The only other thing I can think of that would stop you being able to paste your screenshots in Paint, is if you're accidentally copying something else, and therefore cancelling the screenshot, before it's pasted in Paint.

If you don't have an F-lock key and you're going to Paint straight after you've taken the screen shot, I can't think of what the problem would be. Sorry :(
