Re: Print Screen Problem

I have exactly the same issue with a PS2/USB keyboard adaptor. Alt-Printscreen works when PS2 keyboard is plugged into PS2 port. Alt-Printscreen works when USB keyboard is plugged into USB port. Alt Printscreen works like plain Printscreen when PS2 KB is run thru adapter into USB port. Is cherry a USB keyboard or PS2 and what is it plugged into?

I have XP SP2 with a Cherry keyboard. PrintScreen works, but Alt Printscreen just gives the full screen again. The ALT key on its own works as it should, but not with Printscreen. A keyboard on a brand new machine works as it should on the old machine, ALT Printscreen giving the active window. I have spoken to Cherry, who think there is nothing wrong with the keyboard, and I agree, so what is happening? Each key alone gives the right response, but together, the wrong response.
