Hold down ALT-GR and press Print Screen this will copy it into your clipboard, you can then paste it into your graphics package.

No, that's far too simple.

Buy a digital camera. Turn off the lights, close the curtains, snap away. Upload to your PC. Crop in photoshop or some other application. et voila!

If this appears in a Viz Top Tip I'll be annoyed

Why press the Alt Gr button?

I just press Print Screen then paste into graphics program

Doh! Trust an IT person to make it complicated with two key presses

PrtScr by it self copies the whole screen (including task bar etc.). ALT PrtScr just copies the active window.

Trust an IT person to tell you why it's complicated
