How do I take a picture of the screen on my computer?

Answer 1

Press "Print Screen" on your Keyboard and paste in "Paint"(for windows)

Also by Alt+Print scr , you can just take a picture of active window :)

Answer 2

Using Shift or Control PrintScreen gets the whole screen, Alt PrintScreen copies just the active window.

There are also free capture programs. These have the advantage that they can take the snapshot directly to sequentially numbered files.

Screen Print & Capture 32 3.5 is a good free one, available at Download.com

Answer 3

On your keyboard there are 3 keys just above insert, home key. In that press print screen key. Now open ms paint>open a new file (select new from file menu), go to edit menu & select paste. Viola, you have done it.
There are also jpg softwares which capture screen of the window alone if you want instead of whole 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.
