You can do this two ways:

1. Many free and inexpensive applications are available for getting Windows screen captures. Search http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.google.com for a list.

2. Or, I found this on a different website...

Go to Accessories/Accessability in the start menu and select the On-Screen Keyboard.
That will give you a print screen button you can click with your mouse. (Using the On-Screen Keyboard will not change the active window, so you can even grab just the window you want).


Hope this helps! bill

It sounds to me like you're actually trying to take a screenshot in OS X, not Windows. To do so, do the following:

For a full-screen screenshot, press command-shift-3.

For a screenshot of just part of the screen, press command-shift-4, then drag the cross hairs to select an area.

For a screenshot of one window, press command-shift-4, then press spacebar, and click the camera icon on the window you want.

These methods will create a file on your desktop called Picture #.png. If you want to copy the screenshot to the clipboard instead (as happens in Windows), just press control in addition to the other keys described above.

Hope this helps.
