If I have multiple screens on my computer and an error message how can I capture the whole screen in an image to email. Is there a way to use Bitmap by right clicking or something. How about printing the screen shot?

On your keyboard just to the right of the F12 key, there is a key that says PrtScr (Print Screen). When you have the screen up and open that you want to take a screen shot of, press the PrtScr button on your keyboard. Open up MS Paint, and paste it in there. Save the image as a .jpg file and email it. If you save it as a .bmp (bitmap) file, it will b a few MegaBytes and will take a while to send.

Hold the Crtl button down and hit the print screen button - this sends a screen shot to the clipboard. Just paste it into another program like word or paint.

One way you can do it is to use the Print Screen Button (sometimes:prtscr) on your keyboard, or one of the best screen capture tools I've ever seen is CaptureWiz - http://pixelmetrics.com/

Hold down the ALT key and click PRINT SCREEN (up on the top right of the keyboard).
Then, open Paint or Word or something, and click PASTE. (Either CONTROL - V or click EDIT, then PASTE.)

hold down the alt button and hit the "Print Screen" button.
Seriously.
Then, in Word or wherever you want to paste the screen shot, hit ctrl+v.

you have a full choice of free or $ screencapturers on the web, each one with a full set of options ( capture to file, to program, to Email, choice of formats, choice of windows, shape, and so on... )
you may try screenhunter ( free version, or pro version )
or gadwin free screen hunter, for example
both are working fine

the PrtScn button will capture the entire desktop the clipboard
ALT PrtScn will capture the currently active window to the clipboard
