How to Take a Screenshot on Your HP
Since Hewlett Packard computers run on the Microsoft Windows operating system, a print screen key is available on the keyboard to perform Windows's print screen operation. This operation allows users to take a digital snapshot of the desktop. Once that snapshot is created, the snapshot needs to be changed into an image file so that it is visible.

I try this and when I hold down the ALT key and click the Print Screen, it closes out my window and brings it to my homepage! This is so discouraging, seems like it should be so simple but it's not working... any advice?
