    Press "PRTSCN" on your keyboard (top right ish). This takes a capture of the screen (or print screen).

    Then open ms paint (start > programs > accessories > paint)

    then goto edit > paste

    voila, save as a jpg and you're done.

    I have been trying to do the same thing you suggest with adobe photo shop and microsoft paint. I am trying to make a screen shot of a video clip in windows media player. When I copy and past it, everything looks fine. Only when I close it and open the file again...I get a blank screen with just the microsoft player.

    I've had this problem. IIRC you need to turn your hardware accelleration right down.

    I was scared to give this advice without being sure :O

    that confirms it.
