You can get a Screen capture by holding the SHIFT KEY and hitting the PRINT SCREEN button. Then use PASTE into Paint.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

There is one better than printscreen... if you want a window.
Select the window that contains the thing you want to screenshot. Then use alt-PrtSc (i.e. hold down the alt key and then press PrtSc briefly then release the alt key) to copy the *active* window to the clipboard. You can paste the clipboard into paint... or even direct into word.
If you have a laptop you may have to use a combination like alt-Fn-insert (on my compaq laptop)... and remember if your keyboard has an 'alt' and an 'altgr' key that you use 'alt'.
If you want to capture an 'alt' activated menu then you have to use PrtSc by itself to capture the whole desktop as the 'alt' makes the menu go away.

Press "Print Screen" (top row, 3rd from the right)
Open Paint or any other image editor.
Choose "paste" (or press ctrl+V)
Voila!
Now save the image.

There is a "print screen" botton on your keyboard , close to function keys. push it after that open paint and go to Edit menu and select Paste.

ok on your keyboard there must be a key around the delete key not the lower back area key, it truly is going to assert print demonstrate. bypass to the web page you want and push the print demonstrate button then bypass to paint and press paste the full component must be there. wish that helped.

Download "FastStone Screen Capture" it is free and will allow you to crop whatever you want on the screen and save it where ever you want.
