I use a program called Hypersnap and it's awesome...all sorts of controls and key combinations and I've never had it hang a program on me yet! There is a demo but it puts a big ugly advert on your pic to make it more or less unusable...but I'd rcommend it and for $35 it's a good utility.

As for "general" screen caps, when you use the Print Screen button, you then have to open another program and press CTRL-V to paste the image...Print Screen only holds the image in memory....and it only holds one at a time afaik.

Hit "print screen"  then opem Microsoft Paint and hit "Edit Paste"
 
Doesnt always work but does sometimes.
 
For scren capture I use the free Gadwin

A lot of wargamers use the UOSU screenshot program.  It's free and non-resource intensive.  Do a search for it on google.
