how do you copy the screen

[scomike]

a friend of mine sent me an email and attached was a copy of his desktop ... ??
how did he do this?


------------------
asus a7v
800 duron
geforce2 mx w/built in fan
8gig maxtor hd
80mm - lower front case intake fan
rear slot exhaust fan
chrome orb cpu fan
ps fan
front bay hard drive fan

I press the "print screen" button, then open a program like word and paste (edit>paste) it into the document.

Hi Scomike,

There are various programs that will allow you to copy the entire desktop, or just the active window, or any portion of the screen that you select. One such program that I've used for several years to do so is Mr. Snappy 95 (http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/stories/info/0,,0001OQ,.html) and it does all that I've ever needed in such things. Though the name has 95 in it, it works equally well on Win 98 systems.

Happy computing! http://discussions.virtualdr.com/biggrin.gif

you can also go to http://www.techsmith.com and download snagit. Snagit is a screen capture program that you can make gif, jpg,BMP files etc.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

Try PrintKey 2000, you can capture the entire screen or any rectangular area you like. http://www.infinitejoy.com/aucs/PrintKey.html
