Every time i go to take a printscreen it shows up with a crosshair and tells me to "Click and drag to capture a portion of the screen. Click in a window to clip it. Press control or shift to modify destination"
It was working completely fine last night, printscreening as usual. But today its screwing up. Help?
Hey mate,
Sounds to me like a rogue setting or program somewhere (rogue as in getting in the way, not virus).
However, first thing is first, have you tried a simple reset of the PC?
Cheers,
Redeye

Sorry to hear of your problem HelpMePl0x.
Some Keyboards now have an F-Lock key. If your keyboard has one make sure you have not accidentally turned it on, because if you have you will certainly have print screen problems!
The next step although simple, is the first thing to try. do a system restore to a restore point before the problem started.
Have you installed a screen capture program like GreenShot or PrintKey and is it running? If it is, that will produce the result you are seeing.
Look in the System Tray (lower right corner of the TaskBar) and see what is running.
