Using GRAB?

Help! I want to capture a picture of my screen, but "Grab" won't allow it. It's there under "services" but my choices are "whited-out."

How to I activate it?

Problem Free Macbook Black, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Personally I've found the Services menu pretty useless. If you want to use Grab you can simply launch it like any other program, it is in your Utilities folder in the Application folder. Or use the keyboard shortcut of Command-Shift-3 for a whole screen, or Command-Shift-4 to select a particular area (drag the crosshairs to select). If you press the Spacebar instead of dragging the crosshair, you get a camera icon, then click on an open window to get a picture of that window.

Thanks! That was very helpful!
