Press "Print Screen SysRq" or whatever is printed on your printscreen button.

Go to Paint and press Ctrl+V.

Save it.

hi, if it is a laptop, sometimes you have to press a combination of keys, eg, 'fn+prt scr', then paste the image into paint as stated.

crtl + Print Scrn (both screens) and alt + Print Scrn (active screen) works for me on a dual monitor set-up

it tells me i cant do it with out a printer setup.since i dont have a printer i cant do it this way.

so i tried http://wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm. and that works well.

and now i will apolagize to everyone else the other method works as well,just had to rearange my shortcut buttons,as i had allocated them buttons for other things and they were not responding the way they were supposed to.

i did say it had been a while since i fired up windows.lol

You don't need a printer. It always worked for me without any troubles...
