save a copy of a print screen

[Guest]

I am creating a slide presentation in Power Point. The presentation includes
a discussion of changing domain passwords. I want to make a slide that
includes a screen capture of the screen you get when you press CTRL + ALT +
DELETE.

Any ides are appreciated.

Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, when the dialog box comes up press ALT+PRINTSCREEN.
Click the "Cancel" button to close the dialog box. Open a graphics program
(like Microsoft Photo Editor or Microsoft Picture Manager) and paste in the
image. Save it as a JPG, PNG, or maybe BMP (if you have to). Switch back
to PowerPoint and click "Insert', "Picture", "From file", browse to and
select your image you just saved. You could save a step or two after
capturing the image by switching straight to PowerPoint, clicking the "Edit"
menu, selecting "Paste Special", then choose one of the options.

Bill,

Does that work for you? It doesn't for me. We are running on a Novell
network, and when I CTRL-ALT-DELETE, ALT-PRINTSCREEN doesn't work. I end
up with nothing on the clipboard, so I can't paste into a graphics
program or directly into PowerPoint. I suspect this might vary based on
what pops up when you CTRL-ALT-DELETE.

A few years ago I needed the same thing, plus the install screens for Win 2k
and XP. I used VMware, which created a virtual machine that runs in a
window. This is very cool stuff, it has a BIOS, and everything. Microsoft
has a similar tool, called Virtual PC.

You end up running a completely isolated copy of whatever OS you want in
that virtual window. Screen caps of the BIOS are slick...

What about using a screen capture utiity that allows a timed capture?

Fire off a capture after a ten second delay, hit CtlAltDelete, wait for the
capture to take place, bug out of the CAD screen and do whatever's needed with
the capture.

I'm wondering if cntl+alt+del halts all processing. My screen capture
wouldn't work after doing this. I'm curious if any program will.

I did find a solution though. digital camera
I've taken the liberty of providing you a shot

My old copy of PaintShop Pro (v4 or so ... allows timed captures and was able to
grab the C-A-D screen from Windows 2000.

Corel Capture (from CorelDraw 11) doesn't. It captures a black screen. You could
always claim that you LIKE it that way and set your Windows scheme up accordingly,
but then they'd want to make you take the little pills again so ... no ... let's
not go there.

I'm betting that SnagIt from TechSmith will do the job too but I don't have it
handy at the moment.

Works for me in both Win98SE, and WinXP into PowerPoint, PhotoPaint, PSP

It seems that SnagIt 7.x.x (latest version of the 7 series) won't do it under
Win2000. I've dropped them a line to see if I'm missing some needed setting to make
it fly.
