Screen Capture for XP

ViperZakuto · #1 10-23-2007, 08:35 PM

for anybody that has Windows xp. you don't need a screen capture program. I just learned you can press the print screen button on your keyboard, and it will copy the whole screen. Then just paste in paint or any gfx program and save as you wish =D

You really just figured that out?

Alt + 2 in Graal to make a screenshot of the GraalControl, Alt + 1 in Graal to make a screen of the whole level you are in (ignores tiledef and other stuff), Printscreen to, well, make a screen of your whole screen, and Alt + Printscreen to only screen capture the active window.

This has been in Windows for many versions prior to XP.

I knew this when I asked my dad what Print Screen did the first time I used a computer

didn't DOS have a form of this XD lol! I was jumping with glee when I figured this out. XD Soon after I learn about "Alt + Tab" "Windows + D" and a few more. Then the alt keys... God bless the alt keys!

lame me all you want. I just posted this for people that didn't know. Maybe it would help others that didn't know like myself. I've seen many people asking how to screen capture on these forums... and not once did i see someone say press print screen or alt+print screen. They always said to download programs... I just searched help in windows and bam!

some people in here were actually posting... not laming. this statement doesn't apply to you =P
