The F11 key doesn't work on event screens or the Statistics screens. Use the Printscreen button, this places the image on your "clipboard". Ctrl+Tab to leave the game then open Paint, GIMP or another similar image manipulation program and press Ctrl+V this will paste whatever is on your "clipboard" into the program. Unfortunately you can only do one image at a time this way.

Sorry I am not at my home PC so I don't remember any good screen shot programs. Someone should be around soon with some names. Have you tried Googling' it.
