Hey guys,

Anyone know of any free/decent screenshot/capture programs? I'm looking for one but can't find any free ones. I know there has to be one out there that everyone uses. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Why not use the print screen button?

Does the "print screen" key not work for you?
I don't want to print screen, I want to take a screen snapshot and save it as a .jpg file (so I could send a screenshot in an email or post if I had to).

I know about the print screen button, LOL but I'm looking for a screenshot on the computer, not printed.

Uh, print screen is not necessarily for printing, it merely captures a screenshot, just like you want to do...

Because you can't use Google?
Something like that :clue:

Well I did use it to find a program to do it but it's shareware and I was thinking there's got to be a free one out there or something close to it. The print screen works fine so I'll just use that from now on.

Hah, I was waiting for someone to pick up on that (the only real reason to post the screenshot).
