Print screen

[Zebigboss]

Recently when dealing with a computer problem, I have been asked to 'Print Screen' and send the photo to tech support.
I have pressed the 'Print Screen' button, but the only software I have that will accept a 'pasted' photo is some 10 year old shareware called QV. The results are very grainy. Any ideas where else I can paste the photo, or is there better shareware out there somewhere?
Thanks for your help.

I always copy into Microsoft Word

you can paste it anywhere, use paint or microsoft works or word or you could download a trial version of photoshop from the adobe website and use that

Thanks for the Gadwin print screen, it works fine.
Can't seem to find Paint anywhere on the computer. Does it come with Windows XP? Can I download it from Microsoft?

I have been using this one - freeware - and am very happy with it: http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/downloads/2170938 /screenshot-captor

Paint should be under accessories on your PC.

After press the Print Screen button,goto MS Paint or any other graphic editors and Press CTRL+V immediately, then save the image…
But if u wanna capture anything on the screen, i think the print screen button couldnot help u. So i recommend u try PCHand Screen Caputre. It could help u capture anything. Im using it, it is easy to use, even for a novice. I think it is pretty good. Hope it could help.
