 Getting Screenshots
using Ms Paint
If you need to get a screen shot, and you do not have a screen capture
program, try this:
- Hit the Print Screen key. This copies a bitmap of the full
screen into the Windows clipboard. Start up a graphics editor and paste it
in. I just go to the windows paint program and press on paste...Then I
save it as a .jpg so I can edit it in my favourite picture editor. (easier to
use than the paint program.)
- Alt + Print Screen will capture only the active window.
(The actual window you have clicked on)

Notes:
-
To get
better quality screenshots in Windows XP, save your screenshot in .bmp format
and not .jpg . Then edit and convert it in another program. Windows Paint
program does a terrible job of converting screenshots from a .bmp to anything
else.
-
In
Windows Vista, the Paint program already saves the images in .jpg so you do not
have to worry.
