lol. never head about this. lol
you can make screenshots by pressing the pause/break key. check if an application remapped your keys.

No, it seems to make them automatically every time when I press space.

I run WinXP Home. Maybe it's my keyboard. It's a Defender keyboard with some strange buttons like Calculator, Copy, Paste, etc...

I have no drivers installed for it, whatsoever.

EDIT: I also have foobar2000 running in the background without toaster or prettypopup and I have multimedia mouse.

borrow a keyboard from a friend and check if the same things happen.
if not itīs your keyboard. if yes itīs the fault of third party software.

I borrowed one from my drawer. It is a normal, stained with strange uh.. stains keyboard. And it doesnīt make any screenshots.

The good thing is, that my problem is solved...
the bad thing is that I have to clean my old crappy keyboard.

You can install the latest driver for your 'keyboard which is already clean' and check the remapping options.

The mad spammer character is right, though, you have to stop misinforming people. It's the Pause/Break key that makes screenshots in the updated version of WA.

Edit: The first sentence of this post is not meant in a serious way. Hi Liam!

misinforming?

since english is not my mother tounge and my keyboard isnīt an english one too, i donīt know what this key is called in english.
a reply in which you pointed this out would have been more useful.
itīs irrelevant if it is the pause/break, the printscreen key or whatever you want to call it. just wanted to say, that it is a different key than space. and he finally got his problem solved.

but you donīt understand this, i know. you must have a small brain if you say this mad guy is right.

KRD's mother tongue also isn't english, and he also doesn't have an English keyboard. He was proibably just pointing it out for anyone else reading the thread, as the printscreen key is a seperate key to the pause/break one. I doubt he meant any offence ;).

In German they're called "Druck/S-Abf", "Rollen" and "Pause/Untbr".
