How to take screenshot in Windows 7?

I need to take a screenshot after a few seconds. My PrntScrn Key is dead. Is it possible to take screenshot without using print screen. In fact, I want to take screenshot of my desktop context menu.

With respect,
Thanks in advance...

Normally, all you need to do is just press Prt SCr (Note: you will not receive any confirmation that the screenshot was taken), open an application such as Wordpad (Start Menu, all programs, accessories), then right click and paste.

Press the Fn key
If you find the print screen command a keyboard not working not on your laptop, you may need to use the "fn". In some laptops, you must press the Fn key, as well as the printscreen key to do the job. The Fn key is located between the control and the Windows key in the lower left corner of the key board.

Some laptops and other mobile devices that do not have a print screen button could use other combinations of keys, such as FN + Insert, to capture the screen. Consult the manual that came with your laptop or device for specific instructions.

If you use a control wireless keyboard on lock (locking function) key on your keyboard. Check top right of your keyboard to the F LOCK key, which can be you can use the print screen key. The CAPS LOCK key activates / deactivates the function keys. A function key is a key that has two possible commands depending on the State of the lock toggle keys.
