looks like a neat program. how did you get the trial version to work past the 30 day mark?
It really is a good program.

It just kept working. It gave you a popup box that told you the free trial had run out and it attached a little block to the captures. Neither of which I really cared about. I eventually paid for it 'cause I felt a little guilty.

There are a million free programs (just go to any popular site like "download.com" and type in "screen capture") but the print screen key is still the easiest & fastest...

i didnt think you could do it that wya and save as .jpeg
Here's one for you guys. It's called irFan Viewer and you can pull it from Download.com. I think it's some grad student's final project that just keeps getting updated. Anyway, I use it to clean up digi-cam pics w/ sharpness, and gama corrections.
Use print screen button, fire up this proggie, then ctrl+v. Then, you can save it as either .jpg, .bmp, or whatever else (I only use those two).

This should take you there:

IrfanView is probably the best free image viewer in existance. Everyone should have it - and while you're at it, send the guy ten bucks so he keeps developing it.
