Screen Capture

[flynverted]

Using XP Pro, and need to capture a screen shot. I have a utility that works well, but doesn't help me in this case.
I need to capture an occassional error message I'm getting, but can't use the utility because as soon as I left click to open it, the error message disappears.
Tried Ctrl/Print Screen, Alt/Print Screen, search, and Google.
I know windows can do it, but not sure how? Any ideas?

Try Shift+Print Screen then open up paintbrush and select paste, this should copy the contents of the screen grab into paintbrush, then trim down to the size you need to keep.

Try this different utility. Only 551Kb/up and running in less than a minute; 30 day free trial.

FastStone capture is a free screen capture app that is quite versatile. Google will get you to it.

Mgrab is another ute. Very useful... Google it up should you wish.

Sometimes the simple Micro$oft way actually works.
