<< Go BackTopic: How do I capture a screenshot of a game?

Debbika, it might be worth to try pressing Alt + Print together, instead of only pressing Print
I´m using Vista Home Premium,and both ways work for me. Print does a snapshot the current window/Application, ALT + Print of the whole screen.
This should work with Vista Basic, too.Try to take a screenshot from this browser window first, because for some games it just wouldn´t work.

didn't see it mentioned, and my reply is a bit late, but a great freeware program (completely clean; no adware) is IrfanView. I use it on my XP & it IS compatible with Vista & 7. just type "irfanview" in Google & you'll get a link.
just press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard, open IrfanView & you're good to go. save it in whatever format you want.

maybe need to try a different download site than cnet.com or tucows.com for XnView. both those sites freeze up my browser while things called i.i.com.com or dw.com.com load which are forced adware cookies trying to override the cookie blocks i have set and insert themselves into my locked hosts file. also may have to do with the Anti-Banner feature in my Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 suite.
probably best to go direct to XnView's website: http://www.xnview.com/en/features.html
looks like a neat program, too, sukibabe.
(for some reason, i can't get the "link" button to work which is why i had to post the actual link.)

I have Vista Home Basic and it doesn't come with the "snipping tool" and of course the "screen print" key doesn't work because it's for XP. I found out Vista's Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate Editions comes with it. I'm going to try some of the other ideas listed here. I hope I find one that works.
