| 119201 | 2003-02-07 21:57:00 | Dumb Question - would someone please explain to me how to take a screen shot (I am using Windows XP Pro)? I used to know how to do it on a Mac, but can't figure it out on this box. Thanks for any assistance John |

To paste the image into a document, click the Edit menu in the document window, and then click Paste . i . e open paint click edit then paste . |

| 119206 | 2003-02-07 23:13:00 | Thank you Kiwitas - got it, tried it, it worked. I will now depart the field of battle cowed and abashed... I only wanted to take screenshots of network settings etc so that I have a printed record. My system is becoming really unstable, and I can feel a format and re-install coming on. As my network is a source of constant mystery to me (I cannot work out everything I did to get the wired LAN to work, let alone connect the wireless part to it...) I thought I should have a proper record of how it looks whilst it is working!!!! Thanks again John |
