Does yours have the snipping tool? That's what I use.

Comes standard on Windows PC, if you have one.

I'll write up a little how-to tomorrow, though I'm sure Google has much better tutorials than anything I can concoct.

Just so we are all on the same page, PC and not Mac or Linux right?
Also, what OS are you running? I know 7 and up have the snipping tool (just hit start and type "snipping tool" and it should pop up).
Otherwise, Psycospacecow has the old school way of hitting "PrtScn" on the keyboard and open Paint. Select Paste or hit Shift+Insert to have the screenshot on the Paint.

Yeah, I'm using a PC.

No print screen on your keyboard? Is it a condensed board?

Laptop then? A lot of laptops have buttons that serve multiple purposes that can be toggled via a toggle of some sort.

Can you send us a picture of your keyboard, or at least the model name ?
