Press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard or Alt + PrintScreen button on your keyboard to capture only the active Window. Open MS-Paint and paste it in there. Save it as whatever file type you want.

print screen did not work for me, i tried all kinds of softwares but nothing worked on XP so i tried it on 98 it worked.

[techtronic]

Use screen capture software like SnagIt or Camtasia Studio to capture still and video.

i u got Irfanview, u can use it to take screenshots too

pressing C will bring up the screenshot options window, where you can specify the filetype in which to save, the file name pattern, keyboard shortcut to take the screenshot etc

If it ws dat easy ... i wouldnt hav asked here. .. dis screenshot thng only wrks wth win 98 i guess(as my frnds say) !! ...pressing "PrtScr" doesnt wrk in XP.. i Tried Irfanview as well bt it dint wrk out..

Moreover "Alt Enter" combi just works on compiler windows but the oputput is always shown in full screen mode... !!

restore the result windows (i.e not in full screen). and take snaps

MORAL: screenshots cannot be taken in XP...it works only with 98..!!

[Gigacore]

BTW, are you using TC?
Try DevC++

[dOm1naTOr]

run C++ using dosbox. So that u can probably use buttons like printscreen while working in c++.

And also try those c++ querries on any linux promt, so ull get the output on more use friendly screen.

[akshaykapoor_3]

@Gigacore... i tried DEV C++..!!

@d0m1naT0r
Yeh...May be that should work...

dude i had the very same problem you are facing now, i looked at all the internet cafe's and i found one with win 98 i went with my troubo c installed it there and took all the screen shots i need.

do 1 thing send me the program, and tell me what you need.
i will try it at the same place.
(But please do not depend totally on me, they might not have it now)
but i will try for sure.
