Screenshots...

[SinisterDeath]

Anyone know how to take a screen shot with Windows XP? I tried ALT+PRT SCRN but nothing happened....it's too bad to, cause it was really funny.

I use Ctrl+F10 to do it.

Anyone know how to take a screen shot with Windows XP?

Nothing is different. Just use Ctrl + Print screen. THen paste it onto some program like Paint. I have XP too, and thats what i do

You can also use a program like Paint Shop Pro which has a screen capture feature. Print Screen and the paste is the easiest though.

The answers above are good, but I would like to go a step further and suggest that you take a peek at the FAQ thread, stickied to the top of this forum. In it many Frequently Asked Questions are answered. This one, in particular is answered thus:

How do I take screenshots?

• Use the capture-function of a graphics program
  or
• Hit the 'Prt Scrn' button on your keyboard. Then open a graphics program such as Paint (you can use the windows key, then go to Programs....Accesories...Paint, this way you don't need to exit the game), then you 'paste' and there's the screenshot! Remember to reduce the image size a bit, or crop it, and save the file as .JPG.
• There are also lots of screenshot programs you can download at download.com.

If you still have a problem that is not answered in the FAQ, there is also a Newbie Questions thread, which is intended for answering simple questions like this. Many posters keep an eye on that thread, and you will receive an answer rather quickly. Almost any question that starts with "How do I ..." is a candidate for the Newbie Questions thread.

No offense to SinisterDeath is intended, here. I just want to remind folks that we do have resources available for these kinds of questions.

@Padma: You would save yourself so much time explaining how you don't mean to offend by calling someone a Newbie by renaming the "Newbie Questions" thread the "Quick Questions" thread.
