XP desktop screeny...how?

[Zak33]

In Win 98 I used to hit the "print screen" button, then open the Clip Board viewer, save the file as a .bmp, and then use Paint Shop Pro to convert it to .jpg.

But XP aint having none of that......when saving the Clpbrd file I get two file options and NEITHER are compatible with Paint Shop Pro....

so 'ow do I do it guv?

Clipboard viewer is still in XP? Lol

Paste it into Paint and save as a BMP. Then load that into PSP

[Grey M@a]

like howard said, press print screen, go into PSP and press paste and thats it

[Zak33]

you can PASTE when you've hit print screen.....cool

Should I use Cntrl V for that?

[Lexeus]

well Ctrl + V is just the hotkey for paste, so your choice

Enhance the print screen options with this simple little tool. Just set up a shortcut to have it start when you boot

Other options:

Alt-Print Screen - takes a screen print of only the current active window

Imaging - paste into Imaging to save directly as a jpg without messing about with Paint
