any way to take a screen shot in XP?


press "print scrn" on ur keyboard

it goes to ur clipboard
then paste to ur favorite image editor (ie photoshop)
 

works for me...
🙂

i wonder if u can recompile the kernel to enable it...

JUST KIDDING!

it should work tho, i dont think there is any reason m$ would disable it if it was used since win98...
 
Works on my laptop, running winXP Pro. How else do you think I get the Friday Desktop Thread Screenshots? 🙂
 
oh well, I tried it on another few boxes and it worked.... but still doesn't work on one of them... weird... oh well, who cares.

I am using xp pro and just did one in word pad and it worked, I tried one in note pad and it didn't work.🙂
 
A friend of mine had a similar problem (which I've never seen on my own systems) using Windows 98. The only significant difference between his system and mine was that he had AOL installed. Might be a longshot, but could that be it?
 
how do you take screen shots of mpgs and avis in wmp8.0 or 6.4? the regular screen shot works, everything else i can paste into paint shop. except that the video that is playing leaves a big black spot where the image should be. the funny thing about this is that when i move the picture window over the video window, i can see through the picture (where the video image should be) and watch the playing video.

solutions?

The reason you get the black square is, that Window's Media Player (et. al.), are using the video overlay. The built-in Windows screen capture, won?t do overlays ? you?ll need something like the HyperSnap program...

thanks for the info, Escalade.

meanwhile, while fiddling with it and trying to get it to work, i found that if you open two instances of wmp, the screenshot will work for one of the videos but you get the black box for the other one.

i also found in options->performance->advanced to disable use of overlays. then the screenshots work. what is the advantage of using overlays?

I believe it?s a speed issue... maybe someone else can expand on this?
