I searched the forums and could not find anything! This should be in vent, but it is about computers. How do you take a screen shot. I would like to know how to do this in both Windows XP and Windows 95/98. I have been trying to find this, but don't know how. Thanks guys in advance since I know most of you can do this

Laptop hold "Fn" and press "prt Sc" Easy when you know how

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.  Group: [MODERATOR] Posts: 4,077 Joined: 24-July 05 From: Linix, DOS and Windows…the good, the bad and the ugly Member No.: 9,787  |
I have been using a freeware software named "Oscar Miniclip" for a while and it works great.
Lots of options to allow a great amount of flexibility. For example: Full screen? partial screen? save format? save location? show mouse or not? Key sequence used? (default is the prtscrn key) and many others. I highly reccomend getting a copy. Download Location Here |

I know this is about taking a screenshot of something on your desktop or whatever, but why 'doesn't it work with movies
 Ive tried it but ofcourse it doesn't work, but is there another option, or is it impossible to take screenshots from movies in win med player for example?

Okay, thank you. This is what I needed. I actually already have the MiniClip. But does it take a screenshot of your screen? And also, with that Prt Sc, does it print the screen, or let you look at it first? This was a big help guys. Thanks

Print Screen copies a picture of the screen that you can then put into Paint or Word etc. However, PrintScreen makes everything on screen appear. If you'd rather have a picture of only one thing, press Alt-PrintScreen

Actually the print screen key cannot capture movie windows. You've to use special screen capture software or the Screen Capture functionality in the Movie Players like Nero ShowTime, VCDCutter etc.

Like NDPA said if you use the print screen button, the computer copies it and then you can paste it into Paint. You can then resize it or cut out the parts you would like. If you press the print screen button twice the first one is erased. If you use the program it might be able to save multiple screen shots.
