hi,
i'd like to take a picture of the screen (not with a camera) or a
part of the screen
is there a program that i should use ? the PrtSc on the keyboard
doesn't seem to work
please advise
 
PrintScreen is a bit of a misnomer these days, as it doesn't actually
'print' the screen. It copies into a clipboard. Printscreen on it's own will
take a shot of the whole desktop. Alt-PrintScreen will copy the active
window.

Once you've done that, open word, paint or some other editing program, right
click in the work area and select paste. This will paste the shot into your
program and you can print it from there

Greetings --

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a
graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will
paste the contents of the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open
file, and allow you to view it or save it as a file for later use.
