Otherwise Alt+PrnScrn for Current windows and PrnScrn for everything.

Then just paste into paint/any picture editiong program and save as jpg or any other format

Cheers LL :thumbs:

759358 2009-03-25 06:50:00 When I press prtsc what is supposed to happen? When I open Picasa it just wants to load all my photos, nowhere is there anywhere to paste anything. When I right click there is no paste option.

I always just open a blank Word Document and paste it in there.

Easy to file away somewhere if necessary.

fro which you need to Paste the image into an image prog.
If you are using VISTA you have a better tool "SNIPPING TOOL"
which can capture all or part of the screen image and save it to
file for whatever purpose.
