i am stupid help
 

stupid question here when i press print screen on my keyboard where do the images go i running vista 64 bit

All things being equal, open up MS Paint (or any other image processing program) and then click EDIT, then PASTE and it should show up.

Essentially Print Screen will put the image into your 'clipboard', although some games will also put a copy in a 'Screenshots' folder in the game directory...but 9/10 of the time PASTE will work.

I just tried that on Vista home preimum and it didn't work ...

I've never got the print screen button on my keyboard to work in any OS

I know games like FSX and SH4 give instructions on how to do it for that particular application, but just out and out capturing a screen shot at any time you want is elusive to me.

Anymore ideas for us slower types?

Whoops! Never mind it works ... I am stupid ... Thank you kindly :oops:

I will post one of my favorite programs for taking screenshots:

Load it up and just draw a box around whatever you want to capture.
