Question Print Screen Problem

I've just set up a dual screen system, and I may just be a coincidence, but now when I try to Screenshot (By pressing print screen) it opens a window titled "Print" (Same as if you hit Ctrl+P). Anyone got any ideas to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

When you press print screen and the window appears open paint and paste, does the screenshot appear?

Nope. Press Crtl + P on your keyboard (If you have XP). That is all I get. It's like I've bound it somehow or something... =/

There are legitimate programs that hijack print screen to do this sort of thing. My own favourite is Screenprint32. Have a look in your system tray and see if there's anything down there that looks like it might be doing this: the icon for screenprint32 looks like a little printer, but there are other programs that do the same thing.
