Screenshots?

Mods dont lock this until you read! I have been doing the whole alt + print screen but its not working any idea why?

well this may help if you havent gone to far.

 

you press "SHIFT" and PrintScreen Simultaniosly, then go into paint and click paste and should appear. then save as a PNG file that way the image doesn't get distorted.

acctually you only have to press the print screen button then go to paint and paste it there... if your on a laptop youll probaly have to use the Fn key

that dang shirt button.. i'm always pressing it :P

 

 

 

yeah, printscreen on it's own will copy the whole screen area. i'd suggest getting a program called Gadwin printscreen. you can set it to take a snapshot of a certain are or a window then auto save it so you don't need to keep messing about with paint.

On the original windows up to about 95 you had to press ctrl print screen

 

 

 

95 and 98 required alt print screen

 

 

 

Its only on 2000/millennium xp and vista that its been switched over to just the print screen button

 

 

 

Which is why people get confused

Uh, no, I still have to tap "Alt + Print Screen" to get just the window.

 

 

 

And "Print Screen" alone has always been a global for the whole screen.

 

 

 

BTW, I've used 3.1, 95, 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP, and I know what I am talking about.
