635860 2008-01-31 07:25:00 you tried the print screen button TGD (13317)
635861 2008-01-31 07:27:00 You can do it with print screen, ctrlC, open image viewer, ctrlV, but much better is MWSnap from here:

635864 2008-01-31 07:35:00 While in that window press your print screen key. It's up next to your scroll key.
I normally just copy it to a word file and save it in my documents. I find that far quicker.
Or go to Start, Programs and accessories and there should be a Paint program. Open that.
Go to file. Highlight, Save as...It will ask where you want to save it. There is a drop down box at the top, save to where you want. It will ask for a file name and then save as type..normally save as JPEG.
Should you wish to email it just use attachment.

Cheers,
Marnie
