I'm not too positive on how a compaq laptop keyboard looks but I have some ideas to solve your problem....maybe. : ) Some keyboards allow the user to immediately select the "Prnt Scrn" button and an automatic screenshot of the current screen will be taken. Some laptop keyboards will require that the user has to hold down the shift key while selecting the "Prnt Scrn" button and other laptops will require the user to hold down the "Fn" function button (might not have) and then selecting the "Prnt Scrn" button. Give those a shot and let me know. Hopefully this was helpful. Have an awesome day. : ) If by any chance that your keyboard is not functioning correctly, you can install a software titled "SnagIT" and it will give you a limited amount of usage.

If your laptop has Windows Vista or 7 on it, click Start and search for "snipping tool". Open it, and you can click and drag a box around the target of the screenshot.
