Known Problem
Funny, when I first got my Win7 computer, Print Screen from CFS3 to Paint worked as normal.
I updated my video card and power supply, and then I noticed it stopped working.
I already had Full Fraps installed so I changed the screenshot button to Arrow Down.
I'm with you on the fact "it is broken", and I'd much rather have things "old school" too.
This is a known issue with Windows 7 (even a leftover problem from Vista maybe?).
Sadly for all my internet searches there is no solid solution other than 3rd Party Software.
Or learn to use the Windows 7 Snipping Tool, which from initial pokings isn't very good either.
I haven't worked with .Mos files yet, but I presume the problem is related to this issue.

It may not be a specific OS problem at all. My set-up goes through periods when the screenshot thingy doesn't work, and I'm on XP Sp3. I suspect MS updates...
Actually, it's most likely to be a Dot Net thing. My Dot Net was giving trouble - updates wouldn't install. The mos editor depends on Dot Net to fuction. I didn't have trouble with the mos editor, but I suspect there might be a link.

Windows Snipping tool is what you want, it's included with Win7 and Vista. It's not nearly as good as Hyper Snap 6 - not anywhere as good - but it's free.
If I can find the post about capturing dialogues properly I'll post the link. edit here's one:- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Use-Snipping-Tool-to-capture-screen-shots - expand the item "To capture a snip of a menu".
Oh, and the .mos editor needs Managed DirectX which last saw the light of day as an add-on for DirectX 9. If you can get that to work with Win7 I'll no longer have a compelling reason to retain XP.
