How do you take a screen shot on your own computer?

print screen on the top right of your keyboard next to scroll lock. Paste it into a program like photoshop or paint.

And remember to save as .jpg and not .bmp. Especially if you're planning on posting the picture online. It lowers the filesize significantly.

Hold down the Ctrl and the Print Scrn keys.

Then open up Paint and paste. This will work.

Yes try it both with function lock on and off. Also, try ALT-PRTSCN to just capture the current client window.

I know my microsoft wireless keyboard PRTSCN button works only with F-Lock off. (whoever thought of f-lock needs a swift kick in the crotch.)
