If you are using windows, hit Print Screen key on your keyboard (usually abbreviated PrtSc or something). Then go to Paint or any other photo editing software and paste (Ctrl+V). That should do it.
Life only makes sense when you look at it backwards.
Just take a screenshot by pressing 'prt scr' and paste it into Paint or a similar program. Then save it and upload it to a picture hosting website like Photobucket.

Quoting Phoenix9 (Reply 14): what didn't work? the screen capture or the pasting part? or getting the image here on a.net
capturing it. I hit prt sc, but nothing happened. LOL
Did you try to paste the image after pressing prt sc? Nothing visual will happen if you hit prt sc, the image gets saved in memory and only after you paste it, can you see it.
