Screenshots in XP

[matt2jones]

How do you take a screenshot of a running program in XP, the normal Print Screen doesn't seem to work, and I can't get qb to run graphics in a window?

Use Screen Thief or VGSCAP.

[matt2jones]

What are they/Where can I get them?

Plasma's Guide to Using Google

#1 Search for VGSCAP

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&i...1&q=VGSCAP

File Library is currently down, so you can't get it from there. Notice the filename is VGSCAP12.ZIP. So you change your search to that:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&i...SCAP12.ZIP

Click on the first result: http://riverbbs.net/files/output/55.Html which gives you http://riverbbs.net/pub/grph/VGSCAP12.ZIP.

#2 Search for Screen Thief DOS

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&i...+thief+dos

Click on the fifth result: http://short.stop.home.att.net/freesoft/screen.htm which gives you ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/gifutil/st201f.zip

There ya go.

OHHH, screen theif DOS. I was wondering why what I downloaded couldn't handle dos.

And thats about the change filename idea, I've never tried/heard that before...

I'd say if I complained enough my games would get themselves coded...

Thanks
