If you still can't see a picture when your computer boots, you may have a driver or other software issue. You might be able to get a picture if you boot into Safe Mode, though doing so is a bit. A print screen, also known as a screenshot, screengrab, or screen capture, is an image you take of your computer's screen at that moment. It can serve a variety of uses, such as creating receipts, capturing information from your computer, and even allowing you to resize images.
Windows gives you the ability to take a snapshot of what is shown on your computer screen and save it as a file. You can then view this image at a later date to see what your screen looked like or share this image with other people to view. You may be asking why this is important and why you would want to share screen shots of your computer. Two reasons come to mind, though there are many others:
- You are having a problem on your computer and you a trying to receive help in our computer help forums and one of our members asks for a screen shot so they can visually see the problem you are having. You can then create one and make it available for others to see.
- You did something you find to be really cool or interesting and would like others to be able to see it.
When you take a screen shot, the image must be saved on your computer. We will discuss this as well in this tutorial.
Taking a screen shot of the entire screen
Windows gives you the ability to take a screen shot of the entire screen. To do this you simply have to press the PrtSc or PrintScreen button on your keyboard. When you press this key a copy of your current screen will be placed in the Clipboard of Windows. When you save that screen shot to an image file you will see an image of your entire screen at the time you pressed the key. An example screen is below:
Figure 1: screen shot of the entire screen
Notice that the image above is a screen shot of the entire screen at the time of the key press. Instructions how to save the image to an image file will be described below.

Taking a screen shot of the selected window
Windows also gives the ability to only take a screen shot of the current active window. Each program that is running on your computer is run inside a window. The active window is the program that you are currently using. To take a screen shot of only the active window you would press the ALT and Prt SC or ALT and PrintScreen at the same time. This will create a screen shot of the current window that you are using. An example can be seen in figure 2 below of the active program I was using at the time I pressed those keys.
Figure 2: screen shot of the active window
It is important to note that any window, whether it is a dialog box, message box, or program window, is considered an active window and will be what is placed in the screen shot. Instructions of how to save this screen shot as an image file on your computer can be found below.
Saving the screen shot
In order to save the screen shot that you have just created you will need some sort of image manipulation software. Popular software is Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop, and IrfanView. For the purposes of this tutorial we will cover how to save your screen shot with IrfanView because it is a free download and works the same in every Windows version. If you are using Windows XP or higher, then you do not need to download anything, and can instead use the Paint program that comes with windows. The instructions below should work with Paint as well.
IrfanView can be downloaded from the following link:
IrfanView Download Link[Download Link]
Download and install IrfanView on to your computer. When it has finished installing, double-click on the icon found in your Start Menu under the IrfanView program group. When you open the program you will see a black window with nothing in it. Now take a screen shot of a window or your screen by pressing the appropriate keys explained above.
Now that a screen shot has been made, we want to paste that screen shot into IrfanView. If it is not opened already, open the program and click on the Edit menu and then select the Paste menu option. Once you click on the Paste button you will see your screen shot that you took previously now inside the IrfanView program. To save this screen shot, you would click on the File menu and then select Save As. When the Save Picture As .. dialog box opens type in the name you would like to save the image as in the File Name field. Then change the Save as type: menu to either a GIF or a JPEG. Change the Save in selection to the directory you would like to save the image and then press the Save button.
Now the image has been saved onto your computer in the location you specified, you can close IrfanView. The next part of this tutorial will explain how to share this image for others to see.

Uploading the screen shot to an image site
Now that the file is saved on your hard drive, you want to be able to share that image for others to view. One free service that we recommend is Photobucket. Photobucket is a free service that allows you to upload and share images on your computer so that other people on the Internet can view them. To use Photobucket you must first register at their site. Simply fill out the form and follow the instructions for becoming a free member of their site. Once you are a member you should login and you will be presented with the Add Pictures screen.
Browse to the picture you would like to upload and then press the Submit button. Once you submit the picture you will be presented with a screen that shows all the pictures you have uploaded with your account on to Photobucket. Below each picture you will see the words Url, Tag, and Img. I will explain what each of these means and when to use them.
- URL
- The URL field contains the text you would copy and share with your friends via email. If you wanted someone to see this image, you would send this link via email by coping the text in the URL field and pasting that into your mail message. When the person receives the email they can then click on that link to view your image.
- Tag
- The Tag field is used to show an image in a HTML document. If you want to share this image on your web site or in another method that uses HTML you would use the text contained in this field.
- Img
- The Img field is dedicated to posting your image on a message board or forum like BleepingComputer.com. Simply copy and paste the text found in this field into a message on our forums and when someone views your topic or post they will see your image.

Bleeping Computer: Basic Operating System Concepts Tutorial

Q. How do I copy an image that's on my computer screen? I notice there's a key on my keyboard that says Print Screen, but when I strike it, nothing seems to happen.
A. Actually something does happen, but it happens off screen, so to speak. When you press Print Screen, the image on the screen is saved in the system's Clipboard, which is where copied (Ctrl+C) or cut (Ctrl+X) material is temporarily stored. If you want to copy an image of the entire window that is currently active, press Print Screen. Then go to where you want to place the image and press Ctrl+V or click on Edit, Paste, and it will appear. If, on the other hand, you only want to copy the image—not the entire screen—press Alt+Print Screen. Once the graphic is in your document, you can crop or trim any part of the picture.
This function works for any application and anything on the screen since it captures the image, not the underlying data that makes up the image.
If you are using Word 6 or Word 95, and you want to crop a graphic, follow these steps: Click on what you want to crop; that generates eight boxes, called handles, which appear around the graphic. If you hold down the Shift key and click on a handle, the mouse pointer becomes a cropping tool. Drag the handle to the center of the graphic and stop when you've cut away the desired amount.
If you are using Word 97 or Word 2000, follow these steps: Click View, Toolbars, and select Picture from the menu. You should then see the Picture toolbar (see below), which contains a cropping tool .
Now click once on the graphic and a box with eight handles will appear around it. Click on the cropping tool on the Picture toolbar and on one of the handles next to where you want the graphic cropped. Then drag the cropping tool, stopping when you have cut the desired amount.
| Pull the cropping tool to the left to remove part of the picture. |
If you do lots of screen captures, you may want to invest in a special application that does the job in more sophisticated ways—such as saving the image to various formats or copying only parts of it. One popular program is SnagIt. For more information go to www.snagit.com .
