When u press the 'Prnt Scrn' button, it a pic but u need to go into a program like your 'Paint' program and paste it there.

In paint when you save it you will also want to change it to a jpeg - paint saves in bitmap by default which can be too large for webhosting, etc..

BTW, if you just want a screenshot of the active window use 'Alt' and 'Prnt Scrn'
