"Print screen" to capture a screen of widows to the clip board.

I understand that I can use "Print Screen" to capture a screen of widows to the clip board.  How can I get that video card screen to create a document or an image?

A new message appeared on the screen indicating that the cartridges were more ink.  I then reinstalled the cartridges 'new '. and received a message that "used cartridges have been installed. I then put off the printer using the procedure by the Doc and it worked. After the printer on the home screen appears allowing all features (copy, scan, fax and Apps) to work.  I printed a few pages in color before trying this, so my new cartridges have been used.

  • Where can I find the Print Screen or tool captures Windows XP?

    I'm in an online class.  The subpoena calls for us to use the Print Screen or tool captures Windows 7.  My computer is Windows XP.  Where can I find these tools in Windows XP?

    XP is not a cutting tool. You will need to use the print screen button with MS Paint which is a real PITA bread. I suggest you download one of these freeware tools and make life more simple.

    For the installer for your screen Capture... Open VLC and

    In the directory field... Search for and select a folder
    to save your captures po (for example... you could

    TO... Format, choose JPEG or PNG.

    Finally... on the left, click on the Save"" button.

    Now... Play the video and pause by pressing on your
    SPACEBAR when you see a screen you want to capture.

    To capture the screen... type...  SHIFT + S

    Press space to advance to the next photo...

    Also... VLC Media Player... allows to save during video playback

  • On Vista, how used print screen to take a capture screen or pause a video or play?

    I'm looking to perform a simple task here, and who takes always an or a screenshot of a video using the print screen key, for editing in PhotoShop CS3. But, I can't figure out where the nature/screenshot after having clicked on the button Prt Sc, or if I'm still hitting right (ex. Ctrl > Prt Sc or Fn > Prt Sc, or even simply Prt Sc). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    Print screen (Prt Sc) button will save an image in the Windows Clipboard.
    You can paste the Image stored in any Image editing software.

    for example: after hitting print screen, open MSPaint, now it click Edit and Paste. The image should be pasted into MSpaint.
    You also do the same in CS3.

    You can also use the shortcut 'ALT + PrintScreen' copy just the image of the window (not the entire screen) to the Clipboard.

    Try it.

    CTRL and Prt SCr does not work.

    CTRL, Alt, and Prt SCr does not work.

    [Fn], Ctrl and Prt SCr does not work.

  • How to find the print screen prints.

    Thank you!

    When you press the print screen button, the screenshots are not saved anywhere, but are copied to the Clipboard.

    You must go to a photo app as (even paint will do), then 'paste' (ctrl + v) the contents of the Clipboard.

    You can also use a screen capture tool, like the App "Extract tool" built in Windows 7 (and maybe 8, idk)

  • How can I get the "Print screen" key to work? No answer, does nothing.

    Tried ALT-IMPR. SHIFT-PRINT SCREEN, CTRL-print SCREEN. SCREEN, MS LOGO - PRINT SCREEN. Nothing happens. This has been the case with all versions of windows and all the computers I've owned. I must be missing something.

    Funny how not book them a computer I mention this button.

    The Print Screen (only or ALT + PRTSCR) button does not actually print.  What it does is copy the screen to the Clipboard.  Then, you paste in a graphical application (paint, which comes with XP, works) and print from the graphical application.

    You can also use IrfanView, an application that, among other things, free viewing of files screen captures and prints them out then.

  • When I take a screenshot by pressing the print SCREEN key on my keyboard, I can't get a screen shot in small size, in a Word document.

    Original title: screen printing.

    Hi supperman.

    I have a problem with the screen capture. When I take a screenshot by pressing the print SCREEN key on my keyboard, I can't get a screen shot in small size, in a Word document.

    someone knows the reason for this? How can I get a screenshot in a normal size. Thank you very much.

    Hi tony.wang,

    If you copy the screenshot in a Word file, it will be the default page of the word file size. It will be in a smaller size to fit into the Word file.

    However, if you want to open the full-size screen capture, you can use Microsoft Paint on Windows application.
