Print Screen Key doesnt work?

Question

I have an HP Omnibook500 and the "print screen" doesnt work. I've tried pressing alt, ctrl, shift and other keys with it, but when I open MSPaint, the "paste" option isnt highlighted to past, even though I've tried ctrl+v. Can anyone give me any ideas? Maybe a free print screen program that doesnt require using the print screen key? Thanks.

If you are using vista you can use the screen capture utility

called "snipping tool " which you find under the accessories seciton. for xp  try the following
