Hi,

I have a Netbook and it does not have a Print Screen button.HOW do i capture
the active window to paste it into a Word document?I do that all the time on
a different computer and i am travelling at the moment and i am stuck as i
cannot seem to find an *alternative button.
Anyone know? I have tried the Gadwin print screen software but it does not
work very well for me.


TIA

If nobody comes along with a XP solution, you could try IrfanView.

http://www.irfanview.com/

It's Freeware. Once installed, click on Options, Capture/Screenshot and
go from there.

Seems like the install file tries to install a toolbar of some nature
but you just un-check that. It's not a bad little program.

Or you could try the on-screen keyboard (Start --> RUN --> OSK --> OK (PSC
key).)

Never believe anything thing from someone who lies. Chris as PC Butts, The
Real Truth MVP, and several other nymshifts has never been an MVP and never
will be. He is a pirate and deceiver well known by the MVP community who
will NEVER nominate him for MVP status. He even registered a domain that
looks like Microsoft & MVP (both ms and mvp in its name) to further his
pretense both but is neither.

Comment about Gadwin: works just FINE for me. Only
problem is making it put shots where you want them.

SnagIt. You get what you see and more. It does "scroll" work too. One
click on "PrintScreen" & do your thing. I have it on start-up & it
uses 1,936k mem usage.

Snag-It is good, but not free....the same company (TechSmith) makes a
free tool that does what you need, called Jing:

Are you sure there's no Printscreen key? Most laptops have it but you have
to hold down the "special" function key to change what some keys do. Least
two laptops in this house are like that, third has the dedicated key.
