I just use plain windows... Alt+Print Scn prints active window to clipboard. Ctrl+PrtScn prints entire screen to clipboard. Then just paste the screenshot into a program like paint/word/etc. I use Photoshop CS2.

You should try IRFANVIEW I have been using this software for free, and has been for years.It is a simple image viewer, not an extensive tool like photoshop though. For viewing and re-sizing, cropping, and converting files, or batch renaming files it can't be beat.It beats the Windows way of screenshot because : 1. you can save as any kind of file, 2. you don't need to open word and then re-size, then use word's limited tools to manipulate the image. 3. you can set whatever keys you want to initiate a "capture" 4. you can set a bunch of options as to what it should capture (foreground, whole screen, include mouse cursor, etc... 5. it can save automatically to a directory the file type you choose beforehand, which cuts out some steps and makes screenshots of multiples very easy. 6. the program is so light, it is only a few mB, and loads up in 2 seconds.Do a google search for irfanview. I have no qualms with this program whatsoever.TO CAPTURE:When you get the program, go to the "OPTIONS" menu, then select "CAPTURE" to set the capture parameters. I set mine to CTRL + f12, because I can do it without looking down. No one likes to read instructions, so there you go to get it started.240
