Click on your keyboard "Print Screen/Prt Scr". This takes a picture of your entire screen of that moment. Now open up Photoshop or your paint program and press Ctrl + V. This will paste the picture into the program. Now simply save the document as a .jpg or what ever.

Hit the "Print Screen" button (usually located next to "Scroll Lock" at the top of the keyboard). Open up paint, and select Paste under the Edit menu, or simply hit Ctrl-V. Then go to Save As, and after typing in the desired file name drop down the menu underneath that to ".jpg" (normally they would be saved as ".bmp" if you omit this step)

You're on the right track. Alt+Prnt Scr copies the image. You then have to open up Microsoft Paint, and paste the image onto the canvas (Ctrl+V to paste). Then you click save so you can save it as a jpeg.

Answer 7

Try a screen capture program like Gadwin PrintScreen - http://www.gadwin.com/products.htm?prnscr You can do the full screen or just a specific window or portion of the screen and then choose the output format. BTW, a PNG or GIF file would probably be more appropriate than a JPG.

Answer 9

I have WindowsXP and I simply hit [PrintScreen].



Open your paint program first. Then get the screen up you want, hit [PrintScreen] which saves whatever is on the screen to the clipboard, then go to your paint program and paste into a new file.



Forget the Alt key, that's your problem.
