Print screen

by camaroz284882 Dec 1, 2007 1:04AM PST

Would like to know how I can do a print screen for my computer, as I have an email in AOL and a seperate window that pops up and shows when it was read by the recipient. I would like to print the screen so that it shows both the email and the date read window.

Thank you.

Hit the Shift and Print Screen keys

The screen is captured and can be pasted into a program that will use it. It's basically a graphic capture. Windows Paint will accept the capture as well as other programs. It just depends on what you want to do with it. You will need to select a graphics file format and name the file to be saved.

Try Printkey2000

It's for free: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,22960-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html. After you install to your computer, just hit your "Print Screen" key, along the top right of your keyboard, you can click on 'rectangle' if you want to select a portion of the screen, you can also select copy or you can just hit print and it will print the screen, work with it.
Good luck,
Eddie
