Just click on "print screen sysrq"  It's up above the insert key on your keyboard...or better yet:\n\nDownload a great little program called Printkey.\n\nPrintkey\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/newlife/printkey_info.htm   \n\nGood Luck

Use ctrl / print screen to capture your screen, then paste it into a document such as paint or word or excel.\n\nIf you want to capture just the active window, then use alt / print screen and paste it to a document

It involves editing your registry, and you'll need to know the exact file name of the screensaver you want, and exactly where the file is.\n\nHere's detailed instructions from microsoft:\n\n1.Click Start, and then click Run.\n\n2.In the Open box, type regedt32, and then click OK.\n\n3.In the Registry Editor window, locate the following registry key: (remove the spaces between the backslashes, there, I had to add them in to get YAnswers to display this right)\nHKEY_USERS &#92; .DEFAULT &#92; Control Panel &#92; Desktop \n\n4.In the right pane, double-click SCRNSAVE.EXE.\n\n5.In the Edit String dialog box, type the name of the screen saver that you want in the Value data box, and then click OK. For example, if you want to use the Mystify screen saver as your logon screen saver, type ssmyst.scr.\n\nIMPORTANT: Make sure that you correctly specify the path to the screen saver. If the screen saver is located in %SystemRoot%&#92;System32, the explicit path is not required.\n\n6.Click Exit on the File menu to quit Registry Editor.\n\nP.S. It's always a good idea to make a backup copy of your registry before you start editing it. Too easy to mess something up.

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.

Print Screen or <prt scr> is a screen capture that records the visible items (except the mouse pointer)on the monitor or another visual output device to the computers memory.\n\nUsing the combination of <alt> <prt scr> copies only the active window to memory.\n\nYou must paste the contents of the clipboard (where the image is stored) to a graphics program.\n\nYou can use the <prt scr> while a video es playing in Windows Media Player. This will copy the image to a image editing program and allows the user to "edit" the video while it plays.\n\nThere are some programs like camtasia studio that capture not only a screen but a movie of the desktop or window.

Hold the Ctrl key and hit the Print Scrn key.  The screenshot will copy to your clipboard.  Open any graphic editor (like Paint) and paste it there.

The simplest way to screen capture is press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. That loads whatever is on the screen at that moment to the windows clipboard. You can then paste into any graphics editor such as MS Paint. \n"Snaggit" is kinda the standard for creating presentations or simulations based on screen captures.\n\nWhen you say "record" though it makes me think you want to capture video or the streaming activity on the screen - which is definetly more complicated.\n\nHyperCam is a product that claims to be the best and has top google placement. Seems like the best product for the job to me.\nSimple effective.\n\nhope this helps.

If you don't have any special software, you can play the video on your computer and hit the "Print Screen" button (usually next to the F12 key). And then you can open up Microsoft Paint and Paste (ctrl-v) it into the blank page. Then save it. And Voila! You now have a snapshot.

Pressing PrtSc (or Print Scrn or Print Screen depending on your keyboard) will copy the whole desktop to the clipboard. Then you can paste it into any graphics program you want. If you want just a window, it is easier to press Alt+PrtSc (press and hold Alt thne press PrtSc and then let go). This will copy just the current window -- very handy if you have multiple monitors or just a big desktop.\n\nThere are many programs that have "capture" functions built in which is handy when you want to do things like capture menus and so forth. Try "the gimp" -- an open source Photoshop-like program (www.gimp.org).

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!

to the right of the F12 key is a key that says Print Scrn SysRq. press that and a copy of the entire screen including the browser will be copied into your comps memory. open your favorite image editing app and paste it in there to edit it or save it.

This is easy! There are 2 ways:\n\n1. If you want to capture EVERYTHING appear on you screen: press Prnt Scrn\n\n2. If you want to capture PARTICULAR window, select the window, then press and hold ALT then press Prnt Scrn\n\nThen you can just paste it onto Word, paintbrush, etc.

Simply open the screen that you wish to capture, press SHIFT-PrtSc (Print Screen key with Shift Key) and paste (CTRL-V) on MS Paint or any other graphic package and save it!
