>>Don't know why, but with my 2k machine I can not get it to take a shot of my screen, maybe I'm doing it wrong. I thought it was F11, or F10 then paste to mspaint. I got it to work once, then for months it would only show the same desktop when I pasted now it won't even paste WTF, ps Now it's doing the same thing for XP<<:confused::confused:
 
press [ctrl] & [printScreen] @ the same time and paste it ( [ctrl] [v] ) into your paint prog.
 
nope nada, doesn't work....could I use a diffrent program then mspaint that will work.
 
dos, print screen and xp

Anyone tried to Print Screen from a full-screen DOS application in graphics mode under XP?

I know that DOS is emulated in XP, and that might be the porblem... I've tried PrintScrn (next to F12) and then pasting outside DOS, HyperSnap-DX 5, Snag-it, etc..

Anyone who could help - very much appreciated.

:)
 
Hi Benj

Welcome to XP-erience

not something I've ever tried

this might work

Filename.ext > LPT1

:cool:
 
Found out what was wrong!!! keyboard was broke!!! go figure. Thanks for the help there guys. I feel a bit of an @$$
 
Thanx, TwoZigzagColt45

I gave it a try... the thing is, it's a running QBasic program, loaded by QB.EXE (old language - don't laugh) that I want to capture, rather than the executable itself, so I think there's still a problem. It's odd, because I used to be able to do this - no problem - under Win9x using PrintScrn key.

Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
