print screen function on Toshiba

Hello

I can't get the print screen function to work on my Toshiba Satellite
A100 (XP).

On my other laptops, I just do function+prt.scr and then control+V into
Word or whatever. Works fine.

But the Tosh needs a different sequence of keys. I did find it once by
accident, so I know it can work. But I can't for the life of me remember
what the sequence was. I've tried fn+shift+prtscr, altGr + prtscr, and a
whole load of other combinations, but none of them work.

When I do the ctrl+V it just pastes whatever the previous thing I had
copied was.

Anyone know the right sequence?
Thanks

Standardly, PrtScr is shift-PrtScr if the PrtScrz key is coupled with
another and is at the top of a two-part key, or simply PrtScr if it is
solo on the key or at the bottom of a two-part key.

Yes, that works fine on my wife's machine but not on the Tosh.

OK, I've figured it.

It stops working whenever the Locklizard program is open. Guess I should
give up leaving lots of documents I'm working on open all the time.

It's a pain though. I suppose Locklizard has blocked the fucntion to
prevent you (me) from copying protected documents, but it stops copying
other documents too. That said - the document in Locklizard was the one
that I had actually wnted to copy.
