Do as mentioned above... but depending on your keyboard you may also need to turn off the F-Lock... It's the key above the Num-Lock key above the numerica keypad on the right.

Press the 'Print Screen' (Print Scr) key located to the RIGHT of the F12 key. Then, open any image or photo editing software you prefer (such as MSPaint) and press CTRL + V or go to Edit > Paste.
F12 is generally used to take screen shots in 3D shooter and other such games.

Press the Print Scr/Sys Rq key, if that doesn't work then get a screen capturing software.

Press the PrintScreen key
Open MSPaint and press Ctrl+V to paste it into the edit window
If you do an Alt+PrintScreen it will only capture the active window.

Just press the "PrintScreen" button. It's usually abbreviated to PrtScn. The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard and you can paste is to any image processing program.
