    Im really........ well anyway, the 4 of us can't figure out how to take a screen shot of whatever our PC screen is. We have tried the printscreen button to no avail. Trying to make tuts in photoshop but can't figure out how to snap the shots of what we are doing.

    Print Screen button then paste it into Paint of Photoshop ;) Or get a program like HoverSnap(I use this, it's pretty good) and configure it correctly(very simple) and then whenever you hit a certain button it will save the image automatically to a chosen format in a chosen directory :)


    EDIT: Here's a link to HoverSnap(just scroll down 3 or 4 programs and you'll see it :D Link.


    EDIT 2: I would definitely recommend using HoverSnap or some other program that is similar, it cuts time drastically :wub:

    I had problems like that before, my printscreen key wouldn't work. I switched keyboards, restarted & it worked. I installed the drivers for my new Microsoft keyboard and everything works fine now.

    We use a program at school called PrintKey, and I think it's pretty cool. I've never heard of HoverSnap, but I'll give it a try! Thanks for the link Beastly!
