I thought I would post up some instructions on how to 'grab' or 'capture' what's on your screen and save it as a new picture. If you have PhotoShop or PaintShop Pro then they would be better but this works in Paint too so firstly load one of them and get it ready. Many people dont realise that there is a button on your keyboard dedicated to copying your entire screen and saving it into the clipboard (or memory) up on the top right next to F12 called 'Print Screen'. Press this once and it wont seem like much has happened but have faith. Then go into PhotoShop etc and create a new document (File/New...). Press Ctrl+V (or Edit/Paste) to paste the contents of the clipboard into the new document and then simply save the document as a jpg, bmp or gif picture. Easy! To get a little more advanced you may wish to crop the picture, thus removing all the extra junk around the edges. This can be done by drawing a Mask shape around the area you wish to save and going to Image/Crop. (or copying and pasting as a new image in Paint) One point to note is that this rarely works for capturing screenshots of videos or DirectX applications - to do that you will need a dedicated screen capture program such as HyperSnap or something. rriigghhtt.. so we all get it then..lol....

Thanks for that, I've been wondering for ages how to do it. Now I need to find a nice screen to capture (preferably one with sexy male on! )
