The Print Scrn button on your keyboard (next to F12) then paste in Paint or Photoshop or whatever you have. If you want just the active window, Alt + Print Scrn.

Another way is to use a FREE program called IrfanView .

Open up IrfanView; go to Options > Capture.
Once you press the start button you can use a hot key to capture the image.

IrfanView supports a tone of file types to view and convert as well.

I use GadWin Print Screen. You can have it automatically save it in .jpg .gif. .tnp .bmp .png .tga and then automatically save it to a directory, under the pre-specified file name you chose, have it delay capture from 1-60 seconds, capture the selected window, rectangle area, whole screen, mouse cursor, resize the capture automatically, specify what quality you want it, have it gray scaled, etc.
