Apple Keyboard 'PrintScreen' key suddenly stopped working in Windows XP 32

Hey all,

My PrintScreen button suddenly stopped working in Windows XP Bootcamp mode.

Has anyone else had this happen and how might one restore this?

I can see the screen blink, but my programs that do screenshots on-screen do not get a capture.

I have the latest Mac-OSX, I use the Apple flat aluminum non-wireless keyboard with NUM pad built in, and have the iMac 24" circa December 2008.

Any idea's would be most welcome.

By the way. I use the F14 key for printing.

I did try the alternate for wireless keyboards to see if that would work, which is fn/shift/F11. That also did not work.

I found out what it was....

I still had my TV screen as 'second monitor'. I turned that off and 'PrintScreen' action now works fine.

Sorry to bother.
