Can anyone tell me how to capture what I see on the screen at any given moment such as my 3dmark results screenshot or sandra benchmark? I am trying to learn how to make my own Avatars.

Edit: Sorry forgot to say I am running Xp pro

Doesnt the Print Screen button work? Alt+PrintScreen for the top most window only & PrintScreen for the whole desktop then paste into your favorite photo editor.

Click to expand...

So that's one of the XP differences from 98SE

once you've captured

Once you've copied it to the clipboard with alt + prnt scrn or just print screen, paste it into MSpaint or get Irfanview(free at Cnet) You can then crop and resize the image and convert it into different formats.
