screengrab

is there a way to take a screengrab just with windows?...

if not what programs do you use? (preferably freeware...)

screengrab? What is that? Are you talking about taking an image of everything on your monitor? PrintScreen does it for me, then I just pase it into MS Paint and crop it there with the tools.

I press print screen and paste into an image editor / paint programme (PS or PSP in my case but you can do it in MS paint and a host of free editors). Not very technical I suppose but it works for me.

For game screenshots there's a rather jolly programme called Hypersnap that I have played about with in the past;

https://www.hyperionics.com/

but for the main game I play someone wrote a screen capture programme anyway.

That's probably because I have a keyboard which uses a different system to select secondary or primary functions for print screen etc; pressing alt is not a universal requirement as not everyone's equipment works in the same way.

ALT is used if you want to take a screen shot of the ONLY thing on the screen that is focused at the moment... in his case, Maya...so that's why I told him to press ALT so that way he wont get the bottom bar/system tray and so on

Not on my keyboard, it's the focus key 8). I have a zoom function for print screen.

Just think of all the fun you can have randomly pressing buttons Dragon user added image

I thought everyone knows about the Print Screen button, but i just learned about the ALT Print Screen. My print screen button says:

Prt Sc
SysRq

Print Screen/System Requirments???

Whats with that?

SysRq = system request
Really old command. It does nothing particular in any modern OS I know of.
