screen shot

[JD]

How do I take a picture of my desktop? I know that there
is a button marked "prnt screen" but that isnt doing it.
Thanks

Alt/Print Screen then open mspaint/edit/paste. Start/Run: mspaint

Press "prnt screen" this copies the screen image to the
clipboard. You can paste this image into any program such
as Word or Photoshop and then print iy out.

You forgot the "Alt" with the "PrintScrn", JC. Alt-PrintScrn

No he/she didn't. PrtScr will copy the entire screen to the
clipboard; Alt+PrtScr copies just the active window. Both work just
fine.

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.
