ava, "as a Larian Representative" solved the problem smile
It was indeed Aero disabling the PrntScrn functionality in div2
I turned off Aero and switched to Win7 Basic Theme and I can now take screenshots. I think this is something for Larian to think about in the future programming thankyou

I'd like to close by quoting Bellegar's famous last rhyme:

"Cursed be the mother that bred thee!
The wench must have been a hell-spawned banshee!"
