There's an error message popping up on my desktop I want to copy (Pring Screen and then paste) and email to someone. I know there's a way to copy just that window without getting the whole desktop with it. I think it's something like Alt+PrintScrn or similar but everything I've tried doesn't seem to work. I've seen this doen before but can't remember how to do it.

Do a print screen on the whole screen. Then go into Paint and edit paste it. Then cut out just the error message you are getting and save it.

Pressing Print Screen will copy your entire screen to the clipboard. You can copy the active window by pressint ALT+Print Screen.

CTRL+ALT+Print Screen, but make sure that the focus is on the error message

Just hit Print Screen, then open up an image editor like Photoshop or Paint, and crop the image to the area you want.

Indeed it is Alt-PrintScreen, then paste the picture somewhere to send off. You will get just the window that has focus.
Sometimes you need to get the entire desktop. Then you use Ctrl-PrintScreen.

Well, if the error message is over a browser, you don't have to do anything.
But I see where you're getting at.
Just paste it into paint, and delete everything around it.
I hope this helps.
