Anyone know of a simple program were I can capture whats on the screen and make a .jpg out of it? Some of the free programs I have been finding will capture it but when I go back to look at it later its a black box?

Thats what I was gonna say.

Print
Screen
SysRq

Hit that button and then open up a pic editing program and click paste...

Oh yea, you can't use print screen on windows media player.

You need to d/l a player that has an option to capture screen shots of video.

I don't know of any of the top of my head, a quick search should help you though...

Possible soultion would be to convert the file to a .mov extension and play it with quicktime which allows the print screen option to be used...

I have done that @ work on several occasions....

Good luck man.... 8)

I personally use version 3.1 instead of 5 because it's got a slick setup where you just enter a name and an email and every couple of months they send you an email, and you get to use the full version of the program for free instead of having to pay for it or cracking it.

I used that and it worked perfectly thanks Rusty!
