if you're in windows... press the print screen button (next to the scroll lock), and then open up MsPaint, and then edit-paste. That should paste you the whole screen, just crop out the piece you want, and there you go http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif

If you hold down the alt key then press print-scrn it will give you an image of just the active window.
