AhSatan Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Does anyone know how to capture exactly what is on your screen and send it in an email ect? I know there are free programs online but the one I tried wasnt so nice to my computer lol so I was curious if there is another way to go about doing this or a program someone knows that is safe. Thanks ahead of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 There is a free program called Irfanview. Its a photo editor and can also capture screen shots. Its quite easy to use. http://www.download.com/IrfanView/3000-2192-10021962.html?part=dl-IrfanView&subj=dl&tag=button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 press the button that says PrtScn, then go into paint and press Ctrl + V (shortcut for paste) and it will paste your screen into paint. If you need something more in depth try a program called CamStudio, it is opensource and completely free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 You dont need to press ctrl. Just prtscrn button and ctr+v in a photo program. I.E. Paint or Photoshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Or Alt+PrintScreen to capture only the active window (like if I wanted to just grab a shot of this IE page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhSatan Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Thanks Everyone. I dunno if my keyboard is messed up but my PrtScn doesnt work I dont think because when I press Alt and PrtScn it wont paste in a paint program ect. Thanks WannaRace. Your link worked great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 You sometimes need the program open first just minimised or behind another window. My laptop it is the blue "fn" (function) button and "Prt sc" then paste it into Photoshop by selecting new image then paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 you also might need to have the F lock turned off, I have a microsoft keyboard and that makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
