Some times I want to just print the part of the screen I am looking at.Isn't that what the print screen button on the key board is for?I press it but it does not do anything.Can I fix this?And the mail button goes to outlook express.I have yahoo.Can these two things be fixed?

because printscreen simply copies the screen into memory, if you'd like to print a copy, CLICK ON START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>PAINT
in paint go to EDIT>PASTE
once the screen is inside the paint, simply click on FILE>PRINT and you should be allset :)

When you hit Print Screen, it copies the screen to memory. You can still print it. After you hit Print Screen, open up MS Word, MS Paint, Photoshop or some program like that and hit Paste. You will see the screen shot and then you could resize it, crop it or just print it if you wish.

When you click Print Screen button keyboard it just save your desktop screen into your memory.It doesn't call any program to work.So after you click prt sc button you must open any graphic editor program and paste it on to that program's work area.
By the way,Please check your keyboard is it has some key like "Function" or "Fn" key on your keyboard.You must press and hold your Fn key then press prt sc key when you need to print screen.

if you want to print only the active window then you can try alt+print screen.Mail button goes to outlook because your default mail client is outlook express

you did print the screen, but did you paste it? open paint, then press ctrl + V , then right click,choose "copy to".
