As far as I know, when you press the "PrtSc" key, you have to go into "Paint" and then paste the image there. Then you can save/edit the image....

If playing through Steam, then you press F12 by default to take a screen shot and that SS will be placed in your pictures folder.

I have the Steam version so F12 works, but I also just tried a plain old Print Screen key and pasted into mspaint just fine as well.

you could also do it with Fraps or download Xfire and run it and you can capture screens and video to your Xfire page (it's free).

You could just add the retail game to Steam and take screenshots using the Steam overlay.
