How do you take a screenshot of what you currently have displayed on your monitor and save it as a picture?
Just copy it into a paint program by normal means (Ctrl=V or Edit->copy). Easy enough. ;)
It's not working. It refuses to paste.
I'm trying to show someone how to do something on an Invisionfree board so I need a full screenshot of exactly how the Admin CP appears so I can demonstrate.
Whoops. I assume you're pressing print screen, right?Quote:

Edit: Ah, just got it to work. Thank you.

Lucky thing is, I found it out by myself.Quote:

How to take a screenshot was probably the only new thing I was taught in year 8 ICT. Even then it was only because I asked myself.
I suppose adding it to the FAQ, or the genreal Help forum thread might be a good idea.
I don't remember when I learned to screen cap stuffX_X;;
I think a more useful question to answer would be 'how do you take screencaps of stuff in yuv color mode in winamp, without it being caught up in the black-box stuff' ;P
reason being, winamp doesnt' seem to understand that color space correctly, and I think it has pretty results, but it never will paste unless you convert it to rgb, and then the colors are back to normal-_-
