Go out to a computer store and ask if they have a program called screen shot. You can take screenshoth of almost everything. It places a icon in your task bar in the lower right corner. doubble click on it and you can configure what buttons will take the screen shot , what sceen shots you have takes ect. I have it, it works great.

If you want to spend money, that's the easiest and the cheapest way... IF YOU WANT TO SPEND MONEY. You could, however, use the built in functions of windows and hit the print screen button to take a picture of the entire screen or use Alt+PrintScreen to take a picture of just the active window.

Why the hell would you buy a screen capture program? It's like buying VB3 when you have VB6.

some people are smart and will spend about 10 bucks on a program that will take a screen shot save it to your computer clipboard or anything. so they dont have to buy a scanner to get the pic back on the pc with worse quality's if they don't have one.

But then again, you wasted 10 bucks on software that comes with windows!!! You're useing vb so you obviously have Windows.

OR... you can go to http://www.analogx.com and download his screen capture program for free. Very well built, small and fast.

Or you could DL the shareware version of Paintshop pro and crack it open like a Wallnut. However that would be unethical and illegal.

using the print screen doesnt print the screen to the printer. it takes a screen capture, and copy's the pic onto the clipboard, all you got to do is paste. :-)

and click on file then print

OR download Microangello 98. It has a built in Screen Capturer. It's a very cheap way of getting it.
