You would have to use the Windows print screen function then open a paint program and paste it into paint.  Or you can use FRAPS.

please explain the prt scrn function button. is it a shift command? what should I see happening if operating correctly? Does it just save the shot in the background and then I would need to ctrl v to put in ms paint. thanks for anymore help.

You just hit the PrtScreen key. You won't notice anything. Then open MS Paint or any other picture editing program, and hit ctrl-v to paste.
That's all, and works the same way in XP as well as Vista.

well I think I have had this problem before with my wireless keyboard. prtscn does not work. but I did find a program that is really good called snagit with a free 30 day trial.
