Gil Before I found this site, I had felt embarrassed in front of a customer when I couldn't do print screen on windows 7. I am using windows since 3.1 and I used to use dos in order to log on my OS. Anyways why windows 7 has changed basic tools that has been used for years? It should tell people what has changed. I tried screen print as I use in xp, I failed, I googled and I found out alt+print scr, however it did not work, I googled again and someone said to reboot that might work, it didn't, again I googled again and finally I found this site, thank God. Unfortunately I am too old to try new OS because I hate some feature on windows 7. 2/14/2011
