I'm curious as to how one takes screen-shots of their creations in Windows XP. In the past I was able to run QBasic in a window and mark/copy from there ... but now whenever I switch into a graphics mode, Qbasic goes full screen on my ass. Thanks in advance.
Oh, if there's no real answer for me, will one of you who can actually take screen-shots, take a few of my Pixel Snake Gem Hunt game [new addition to the arcade section] and send them my way?

#1> Get to the part where you want to take a shot of.
#2> Hit the PrntScrn or PrintScreen key of equivalent. (This does NOT print the screen, it mearly copys the contents of the monitor to the cliboard)
#3> Go to paint (or other graphics editor).
#4> Press Ctrl + V and say yes. You now have your screenshot.

I tried that already [see below] ... It doesn't work in XP [pro]Guest wrote:If you press Alt-Enter while your program is running fullscreen, it will switch to windowed mode, allowing you to have a screenshot with Ctrl+Prinstscreen. No DosBox is needed...
It worked in W2000...
