you can hit "print screen" button on the keyboard and it will save it to your "clipboard" then you can use an art program to open the image, and save it. Or you could use "fraps". A free program that can save not only screen shots, but video too.

You can do screenshots with fraps from almost anything, on windows desktop printscreen does it as already has been pointed out.

jon, its not stored in any file. The "screenie" is temporarily transferred to your *clipboard* (much like when you use CTR_C to copy stuff). Youll need to open a graphic editing software (like Paint, photoshop etc.), create a new file and PASTE the screenie in from your clipboard. Then "save as" file on your HDD.
