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.

Printscreen puts a copy of the screen into the clipboard,
alt-printscreen puts a copy of the currently selected window into the
clipboard.

That is not as "clear" as you would believe. In most cases software for
Windows 98 also runs on WindowsMe even if it's not named in the description.

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

"Freeware program for screen capture. For Windows 95/98 and Windows
NT/2000"

It works exactly as I said, thought I see I typed "it" when I meant "hit." I
tried it before I replied.

"With no applications selected, it ALT-PrintScreen. This puts a copy of the

What you've does the same thing, but doesn't require clicking the desk top (to
deleselect all applications) first. I suppose de-selecting all applications
makes the desktop the currently selected window.
