The first answer was good and it will allow you to capture exactly what you see on your monitor, however it'll grab not just what you're looking at, but everything else on your desktop too.  To just capture the active window, press:\n\nALT+PRT SCR and then you can paste it into whatever (Paint, E-Mail, Word, etc).\n\nGood luck!

You don't need any software to do this. All you have to do is press the button on your keyboard labeled "Print Screen" (if you want to take a snapshot of only one window, press Alt and PrintScreen). After you've pressed the button, open up Microsoft Word (or Microsoft Paint) and press Ctrl and the letter 'v.' A snapshot of your desktop should be pasted into the Word document.\n\nNote: The theory behind this is that when you press PrintScreen, Windows saves the snapshot in the clipboard. All you have to do, then, is to paste this, wherever you want to.

The previous postings left out one step. Press the Ctrl key, then Print Screen. You can drop the screenshot on your desktop, put it in NotePad, or a Word document. If you have Clipboard (not easily found in WinXP), you can use that. Use NotePad, if you don't have Word. Then you can email it to the vendor as an attachment, or if you know how, cut and paste it into the body of your email.\n\nIf you aren't familiar with NotePad, click Start, Programs, Accessories, then NotePad. \n\nHope this helps!

I recommend you check out XnView, a freeware screen capture program and image converter, http://www.xnview.com/ if you are looking to just capture a particular windows (what it does best) but it will capture the whole screen also.  It gives you a lot more control than the "prtscrn" button.

If you wish to copy a screen shot into a document, press and hold alt-gr, then press PrtSc.\nNow go to the document, and press ctrl-v - or right-clock and paste. \nIt can also be used like alt when using remote desktopping.\nP.S. Alt gr and tab (as listed below) does not move between applications, only alt and tab does that.

You do not require specific software for taking screenshots.  You can do so freely with Windows  and MS Paint.  If you want to take a snapshot of the entire screen, click on the Print Screen button on the keyboard.  If you want to take a snapshot of a specific window, press ALT+Print Screen.  Now open MS Paint (Start>Run>type mspaint in the box and press enter), open a new file and press CTRL+V.  Your snapshot will be pasted. Now save the file in whatever format you like (.jpg, .bmp, .gif).
