Oops didn't mean to hit thanks

Use print screen button (look to the right of your f12 key) and that will take a copy of the screen and place it in the clipboard, from there paste to email

If you just want the active screen part (e.g. a message box) then control and print screen

Thanks, where do i find the clipboard?

OK_Sauce

Open "Paint" -->Edit-->Paste

The clipboard is just the name for the invisible place things go when you click "copy" or "cut"

When you click "paste" whatever is on the clipboard will appear. If you do as OK Sauce says and then save the file you will be able to email that file.

Try this example:

1. Press the print screen (PrtScr) button which should be:

2. Open an image editing program like paint:
[start] > Run...
mspaint [Enter]


3. Press Ctrl+V (paste)

4. It should have pasted the screen shot. Now save your image as a .jpg file.

there is a free program called kwout (google it) that is very good. Just copy the url of the page into the program and it will do the rest. Then resize the image in an picture editing prog.

Hope this helps!

Agree with what's been said. PrtScr or Ctrl-PrtScr on your keyboard and then paste it.
I find it easier to paste into Word rather than an imaging program.
