How do I take a "snapshot" of my screen and make into a
jpg?

Hit the print screen button, open any graphics program, goto: edit, paste.
The image gets pasted in, edit it and save as you like.
Note: alt + print screen will take a snapshot of the current window only.

Back in the days of DOS, the PrintScrn key used to print the
screen. But in all versions of Windows, this works differently,
and the name of the key is now an anachronism.

To use the key, press it to capture an image of the entire
screen, or press alt-PrintScrn to capture an image of the active
window. Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard.
Once it's in the clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any
application that supports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics
programs, even your favorite word processor). You can edit or add
to the image as you wish, then print it.

In your case, paste it into a graphics program and convert it to
a jpg file.

Greetings --

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard. 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.

Ulead PI6,7,8 has a screen capture mode whose neatest
feature is being able to scroll down vertically(like in
IE) to get 1 large JPG,GIF, whatever filetype u wish.

Not often used but damned handy occasionally.

Any advice given is my attempt to show appreciation for all
the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it
may only apply NUGS. Personal attacks, nitpicking & criticism
of anything but content will NOT be responded to. Those
posters should spend their time taking the test @
