    I was trying to follow instructions on how to capture the process' running in task manager so I could post for help (my IE pages are very slow to open, I'm assuming it could be too many applications running in the background?) and my print screen button does nothing. Not even if I use the alt with it.
    I'm using Win. XP Do I have to download a program (capture it?) in order for it to work? Thanks for your assistance.

    Hi Laura,
    Use Ctrl+V to paste the capture where you want it to go. Document or whatever.

    Try hitting the print screen button once, then open up Microsoft Paint and do [Edit -> Paste] That should work.

    Oh jeez what a doofus I was...didn't realize I needed to paste it. Thanks, it worked. I thought it worked like "snag it" where you would "see" the screenshot.

    Ok, so once I have it on paint, how do I post it here so you can view what process' are running?

    Once in paint ...save as ...name it and save to desktop ...then when you post ...scroll down to manage attachments ... browse ...to the saved file and upload ....exit out and then submit the post.

    And, if this wasn't already mentioned, holding down the ALT key while pressing print screen will capture only the focused window.
