ok, i have a specific scene in a specific movie that i want to take a screen shot of to use as a background for my laptop. however when i use my laptops printscreen key combo to try and take a printscreen in windows media player, it gets the whole screen except for the actual movie portion that i wanted to copy over. does anyone know of a program that is made specifically for movie printscreen captures like this, or is there another way of doing this?

ive looked around the forums but did not find anything that seemed to elp, so i apologize if this has been posted before.

thanks in advance :)

hooray! the first method suggested worked! now i have the background i want :D

i think its appropriate considering i just broke up with my redhead girlfriend a few weeks ago.

this is from a classic and popular anime titled "FLCL". i think it fits the situation im in perfectly :p (http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a5/neogeo0823/ywouldibackground.jpg)
