    I used TC for ages and worked with BGI a lot. There was a time when I needed screenshots.

    When you run BGI based application you run it full screen actually. I assume that you are runnnig it on windows operating system probably. Now when it is run

    1. press Alt+Enter this will bring window to a small size and then your Print-Screen Key will work.
    2. Another option is use Dev C++ with WinBGI, your BGI code will 100% compile with winbgi, the difference will be your same BGI application will be standard window based not an old fassioned window. That also includes mouse interaction. http://www.k3pgp.org/Notebook/Winbgi/winbgi.htm
    3. If none works, I will try writing you an application that will grab screenshots for you from any window and save as bmp (but that takes time and yo uare in hurry I see).

    regards

    Thanks guys for help
    But i just done one thing , installed Windows 98 on my laptop and used it to take screenshot .

    Other steps give by both of you were timeconsuming
    (though installing win98 takes 15min and it was easy)

    get a digital camera or a cellphone, take a shot at your monitor screen.

    no software needed, no configuration needed.

    lol, :)
