If you are using Windows (98, ME, 2000, or XP), you have a free screen capture program already! To capture the complete screen as a graphic object, just hit the Print Scrn key, (normally to the right of the F12 key). This will place a copy of the complete screen into your clipboard, from which it can be pasted to a graphic editing program such as Paint, PaintShop Pro, or Photoshop. Alternately, you can paste it directly in to a Word doc, Excel Spreadsheet, or many other programs.
If you only need part of the screen, you can copy just the window that is in focus (that means the front-most window) by holding down the ALT key while hitting the Print Scrn key. Pasting this into aother program is the same as above. Good luck and have fun copying screen shots!

It comes installed with your OS, so long as you are using any version of Windows 95 or higher, Win 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP etc... its easy to do this.
If you want to capture the whole screen press (Ctrl + Print Screen), this will inclde the task bar at the bottom. If you only wanna capture the screen you are working in, say Internet Explorer, Excel, etc... its (Alt + Print Screen)
No fancy schmancy software. Its already in your OS. There are actually alot of shortcuts most people dont know about.

It is built into Windows. What ever screen you want to capture, just hit the print screen button. This will save the picture to the clip board. Then just open a program like Word or paint etc... and then hit paste.

you already have one.....just hit the "prtscn" key and it will copy all on the desktop and then allow you to paste it into an art program.
alt + prtscn key will only copy the window you view, prtscn alone will copy all in view.
