Answer 1

You have to use print screen.

For Windows XP

For this demonstration, ensure that you are connected to the Internet.

Then Double click on the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop until it opens a Web Page.

After the Web Page loads, press the Print Screen (Prnt Scrn) button on your keyboard.

Windows will send the entire contents of your Web Page to the Clipboard in graphic format.

Now open up the Windows Paint Program by first clicking on your Start Button.

Then move your mouse over the All Programs icon to display all Start Menu folders.

If your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, move your mouse over the Programs folder instead.

Now, move your mouse onto the Accessories menu folder until it expands.

Now click on the Paint icon to launch the Microsoft Paint Program.

Then click on the word Edit, which is contained in your top tool bar area.

This will pull down a menu for you to now click on Paste.

Notice how Windows pastes the entire contents of your Web Page into the Paint program.

And all the tools of the Paint Program are available to reduce, enlarge and Print the contents.

To Print, click on the word File, which is contained in your top tool bar area.

This will pull down a menu for you to now click on Print.

The only way I know how to do it is a screen shot. On your keyboard at the top there should be a button that says something like "Print Screen". Press that at the part you want a still of, then open ms paint, it's under accessories under the start menu. When you're in there you can paste the still there (ctrl + v) and then crop it.

Answer 3

Pause the media player and click on the keyboard the PrtScr button. Then Open the Paint application from Start->All Programs-> Accessories->Paint. Click Edit ->Paste in Paint application and then save the image file.

Answer 5

go to the screen, press the button "print screen" on the upper right side of your keyboard. Now nothing will happen yet, but it just copied the entire screen. Now go to msn paint and right click and paste onto a new project and there you have it.
