On my old laptop I used to just use fn+prnt scrn.
Yesterday I got a new computer (eMachine) but I'm using an Apple Keyboard.
Now I can't figure out how to do a screen shot.
Anybody care to help?

Thanks!

Sorry, those didn't help me.
I think they're based off of XP, I'm on Vista.
I tried F14 and the other suggestions in those threads, nothing worked.

Download the Apple Keyboard Installer from http://makel.org/articles/53/ and run it. After a minute or so, reboot and you should be able to use F14 for screenshots and F15 for scroll lock.

Are you sure this will work?
I am not using Boot Camp, I'm using a regular PC.

Same difference. Just get the Apple keyboard installer and it'll work.
