Hi there, I have XP and i can't figure out how to capture a screen. On my old computer keyboard there was a key that did it. Do i have to get a freeware program for capturing? Any suggestions?
I just want to say thanks for helping on all my newby questions. I get great answers and it's explained very simply, thankfully
:thumbsup:

    you need to push the PrtScr key at whatever point you want the screen shot, then open up paint (or the photo editor of your choice, really) and push Ctrl-V. voila

    if you press ALT + printscr, you'll capture only the active window.
