I am having a problem using the Print Screen (F-13 key in Windows XP on my MacBook Pro with an Apple Extended keyboard. When I press F-13, I don't get a screen capture in the clipboard in WindowsXP. I have checked that other function keys on this keyboard work, and I have confirmed via Keyboard Viewer in OS X that the F-13 key on the keyboard works. Does anybody have any ideas?

    Use F14.

    F-14 and F-15 don't not do it either. I am using the drivers from BootCamp 1.1.1 beta, and I have tried with Apple Keyboard support enabled and disabled.

    In XP, the key command for Print Screen is Alt-Print Screen (two-key combination). Pressing the Print Screen key alone in XP often does nothing. Try using Print Screen with one of the modifier keys (Option/Alt, Control, Cmd) and perhaps one of those will work with Boot Camp.

    Still no go. I think my KB at work is USB (and PC native), so I may try to smuggle it out sometime and give it a try.
