Quick Question-I always wanted to know

[nova12992]

Kind of a simple question which I never knew but wanted to know.
How do you take a screenshot of your computer screen and save it as a file?
You now you're whole screen
and if you can do it for your pocketpc, can you tell me how to do that too?

just press "print screen" on your keyboard and paste it into your paint program then save it.

dunno how to do it on a ppc without getting one of those progs. they're free though, just look around on google on something.

when I press print screen nothing happens, though I'm sure that's has to be something with my computer though

[Paul]

nothings meant to "happen" - i said, you gotta paste into your paint program after you;ve printscreened.

[nova12992]

yes, but I can't print the screen in the first place, like when I press the button, nothing happens

Pressing "print screen" copies the image into the clipboard. You're not supposed to see anything happen. Go into mspaint/word/whatever and press paste.
