8/11/2008 Print Screen on MacBook - BootCamp

Posted at: 8/11/2008 at 11:40 AM by saravana

I became a full time user of MacBook running Windows Vista using BootCamp (Version 2.0) for a while now. One of the issue I came across recently is trying to find out the equivalent of "print screen" Key, I don't need to emphasis on the importance of this. According to the document, its just F11 for print screen and "Option-F11" for active window.

There are couple of issues:

1. F11 is a volume control key by default and you need to press Fn + F11 to make it work,

2. Even pressing Fn + F11 won't capture the screen you need to press "Fn + Shift + F11" to make it work.

Nandri!

man, seriously. i'm a fulltime mac user now too, but i still have online classes that REQUIRE a windows operating system and a internet explorer 6+... these are not available on mac osx. and i freaking love the 'grab' application... apple needs to add a application for us bootcamp users to duplicate grab, since we can't perform print screen.. sad face. sigh.
