I need a new screenshot utility, my old faithful Mgrab that I used for so many years won't work with this computer, I don't have a PrtScn button!  I just want something that will caputre the screen when I press a button that I can choose.  Anyone have a suggestion?

HAHA you do to have a print screen button! Read the Boot Camp manual on which function key it is ;)

Give "fn+F11" a try ;)

Fairly certain fn+F11 will just lower the volume

Fairly certain that it will bypass whats already printed on the key ;) Unless you have it set already to use the F# keys as F# keys and not the special function keys.

That's in OSX, this is Windows 7 on a partition ;)

ndude, when I press fn+F11 with it set to do the special function and not the normal, that just presses F11, which in the case of say google chrome is full screen, so that's not it

Shows how much I know. ::) Are you using an Apple keyboard? Try fn + shift + F11 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1171
