WINDOWS CONFIGURATION - Windows Vista

Hi

I am trying to do a screen print to show an IT tech expert all the programs running on my computer @ start up (msCONFIG)

I have followed all the instructions to the letter, but nothing seems to be happening

Please help. I am going insane!!!!

Press the printscreen button, open paint (start > all programs > accessories), press CTRL + V

Then either print the picture, or save it to attach to an email... depending what you want to do with it.

Thanks but it's still not working. What can I be doing wrong?

[bazwillrun]

are you getting anything from using the Prnt Screen button ?.

Make sure the MSconfig window is active and try alt and print screen

this will take a snap of just the the active window, MSconfig in this case.

open up your graphics package Paint or whatever you use, open a new blank document then either use Paste or as has been said use Ctrl-V to paste the screenshot into the document

Are you using a laptop? If so, PrintScreen may need to have the Fn button held down as well...

Hold "Shift" down whilst you press "Print Scrn". Then open Word, or some other, and from "Edit" press "paste".

When you press the PrtScn key, the computer takes an 'photo' of what is showing on your screen at that time and hold it in memory (clipboard) - it doesn't actually print at that stage, so you first need to go through the msconfig etc. until you have on your screen what you want to show the IT, then tap the PrtScn key.
Then follow Chuck's answer or use Word depending on your Window and Works version.
