How do I get a screen shot?

[NYC]

I've lost the instructions. Thanks in advance.

1. Get a gun, point it at your computer monitor . . . .

. . . and pull the trigger.

2. hit the "Print Screen" button and paste in whatever you use...(nt)

3. That didn't work. Do you have any other ideas?

Do I have to use the alt, control, or function key?

5. What is the target application...?

A simple freeware image widget/viewer like irfanview should handle the paste just fine...

Not sure about your keyboard - but just hitting "Print Sreen" does the job on mine...

6. This is a new computer.

I knew how to do it on my old one. I'm going to try the link you gave me. Thanks.

4. Get someone else to hold the camera?

That sounds FILTHY.
