Isn't there a way to take a screen shot of what's on my monitor sc
I had done this a very long time ago to get help with a problem I was having
with some software I had purchased. The company sent me instructions on how to take a shot of what was on my monitor screen so they could see what the error messages were that I was getting. I've lost the instructions. Does Microsoft have a list of tips for these features that can be done with this operating system? How is a user suppost to find out about the many features, like this, that can be done? I'm interested in learning about things like this for one things but this one particular feature I really need to know how to do because I so often want to discuss something with people and it would be so helpful to be able to provide a 'shot' of my screen. If someone can get this information to me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Linda -- my_realtor (Linda) |

Sorry! I sent this to the wrong group. It should have gone to Windows XP.

"my_realtor" wrote in message ... The company sent me instructions on how to take a shot of what was on my monitor screen so they could see what the error messages were that I was getting. I've lost the instructions. With no applications selected, it ALT-PrintScreen. This puts a copy of the entire screen on the clipboard. Open Paint (or some other BMP capable program) and do a paste. If, instead, you want just a particular application, select it first, then to the ALT-PrintScreen. It's in help somewhere. I found it once, by accident, and I don't recall how. Every direct approach ("capture screen", "print screen", etc.) I've tried since fails. - Bill |

Easier, softer way: use WinGrab (freeware). Couldn't be simpler and it can
edit the capture. http://www.andras.net/wg.html |

Why bother? Alt-PrtScrn does all I need. Your choice of course, I simply
have no need for additional unnecessary apps. -- Mike Maltby Walterius wrote: Easier, softer way: use WinGrab (freeware). Couldn't be simpler and it can edit the capture. http://www.andras.net/wg.html |

Don't knock WinGrab until you have tried it.

This is a Win ME forum. The link you posted clearly not for Win ME. It says:
