Actually, does your keyboard have an "F-lock" key? Make sure thats OFF before you use your Print Screen key otherwise it won't work and you'll end up feeling like throwing your chair at your machine.

Do you have a keyboard with the "F lock" key? or "function lock"? Where your function buttons do dual duty?
That messed me up for awhile. Try that.

No. I have an old keyboard.
I only have Caps, Num, and Scroll Lock.
I think it's something else. Sometimes I can take a screengrab, but when I paste into photoshop it gives me garabaged data. The image is usually "corrupt" looking.
See if it works with an actual screen capture program. ACDSee has one built in and there are plentry of free ones to download. That might narrow down the problem anyway.
I often have problems with print screen and photoshop5. Print screen will work the first time, but every print screen grabbed afterwards will only paste the first image captured. I have trouble all the time taking screenshots of viewports.
I have the problem with working only the first time too - the trick I've found is to alternate ALT+printscreen and CTRL+printscreen, seems to do the trick. One of them grabs the whole screen and one just grabs the active window.
