Actually a easier way would be just by pressing the F12 key.
I myself use the PrintScreen key more then anyone but I thought i'd tell you anyway. ^_~

Hey thanks for posting. I tried the print screen option and I get nothing, and with f12

Thanks everybody, I dont know why but the onlt method I was able to get to work was using the capture program idea. I tried all ideas posted here, but could only get this one to work for me, but if somebody knows of another way or can post ideas while only capture works for me please post again.

Alt-prtsc always works for me. It snapshots the currently active application. I then open Paintshop Pro and paste as a new image. I've even pasted into MSPaint.
I suppose it might have to do with your video card drivers. But since the LE doesn't use any kind of acceleration, it shouldn't matter. But some cards might not have that ability.
Which video card do you have? Try visiting the Mfg website to see if there are any known problems.

I'm using a small handy program called Screencapture.
It writes a bitmap image in the root of your C drive whenever you press the printscreen key on your keyboard.
E-mail me if you want it

zip it!
