YOu can Download the Hello program for PC
Thats what I use on my PC at home. When it is in your system tray you right click and take screen capture.
I think a company named Picasa makes it but im not sure

Windows, right?
Hit Alt-PrtSc to capture the current window, or Ctrl-PrtSc to capture the entire screen.
The result will be invisible. You will get no audible or visual feedback, but you have captured the image into a buffer.
Now you have to paste it into something. You can paste it into mspaint. Press Start->Run->mspaint
Then press Ctrl-V to paste.
You should probably save it as a jpg file, not a bmp file.
I recommend irfanview as a replacement for mspaint for this purpose. It's easy to crop, rotate and resize images with irfanview. Irfanview is free from http://www.irfanview.com

On a Mac:
Apple+Shift+4. Saves as PNG or PDF on your desktop. |

actually to capture the whole screen on a mac is apple+shift+3
apple+shift+4 is to capture a particular part of the screen that you select with the cross-looking cursor. |

On a PC, to get the whole screen just hit PRINT SCREEN, and thne paste into a doc. If all you want is the topmost window, hold ALT and hit PRINT SCREEN, and then paste into a doc. Easy as pie. |
