How to?

How do you select and copy/paste a part of an application/screen (like a screen print, but just a section of it. for example a error window)

Open MS Paint, print screen it, crop the image in there by moving it around and making the canbas smaller

Yup, what he said, that will copy the currently active window for you to paste into where-ever you want...

And download Paint.net (http://www.paint.net/) for something a damn site better than standard Paint.

Ah, didn't know bout the control alt print screen, thanks

And download Paint.net (http://www.paint.net/) for something a damn site better than standard Paint.

For something a lot lighter (and doesn't need .NET), try IrfanView. Paste the screen shot in to it, select the area wanted, Ctrl-Y, S for Save. Done.
