yeh, that's a good idea &
work around.
incidentally, after i gave
it a bit more thought, I
think that a third party
screen printer, would
be a reasonable idea
after all.
i had forgotten that most of them
provide the option to pre program
key combinations on your keyboard
and you won't need to use the prtscn
key.
also the freeware will likely function
in a minimized state, so there
wont be any cutting or cropping
your images.
i gave you a link that can
be beneficial for shopping
around for them...
glad you have figured
out this malfunction.
