tcaeast, when you press the alt/prt scr combination, you're actually copying the picture to your system clipboard. Nothing is going to happen until you "paste" (Ctrl V or Edit/Paste) from your clipboard to somewhere else!

As far as Photoshop is concerned, open a new document and then "paste" with the Ctrl V command or Edit/Paste.

As far where your clipboard (viewer) is located, it depends on the operating system you're using. I don't know NT, but I just had a *hell* of a time finding mine (Windows XP) but it finally turned up (new name 'clipbook viewer') in Windows/System 32. Once you locate your "clipboard" put a shortcut to it on your desktop or taskbar so that it's easily accessible at any time. Comes in handy!
