    How to take a screenshot of video in wmp

    THis is really annoying me. In wmp 10 you could just ctrl+I to capture the image. Now i have wmp 11 it doesn't work anymore! It even says in the help file that to do it the shortcut is ctrl+I, yet it doesn't work!

    Does anybody know why, or a way around this?

    Thanks.

    if you turn off hardware accelerated video playback, then it reverts to software mode and you can take a screenshot with the printscreen button... there's prolly a simpler way than that tho

    Doh, thanks that works.

    When i googled for it, it said turn off video acceleration and press ALT+printscreen. Oh well, maybe ctrl+I doesnt work because it's beta, who knows.
