A little button on my keyboard I like to call "Print Screen," though its actual name is "Prt Scrn."

Seriously, though, hit Print Screen, then open up Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro, or GIMP, or whatever (including MS Paint!) and hit Ctrl-V.

If you want to post it on the forums, you'll need to resize (unless your screen resolution is like 640x480 or something).

Changing the connotation of "noob," one post at a time.

Mine has PrtSc

Quote: "Windows Alt Prt Scr

Now, for those who have read this far, we are going to share another neat little feature of the Windows Print Screen Key. Pressing these keys...

Alt + Print Screen

...will take a screenshot of the currently selected window, not the entire screen like the normal screenshot function. This allows you to target that specific window that you have open and nothing else. No more cropping those screenshots to grab the content you were after!"

F12 will take a screenshot of your game and save it as a .bmp images in your game's folder and you can take as many as you want.
Just remember to change them to .jpg before you post them.

If you are talking about the print screen button it copies the image.You have to open a program like paint or the gimp and paste the image in there.
