I do this all the time with no problems (on a Windows XP computer, by the way).

I use ALT + PT SCREEN when I see something interesting, then waited for the end of teh replay (or at leats a stop for a combat report), went for Paint and do a paste and have my "screen capture" displayed. Then back to WITP for continuing the replay or the turn.

Some people here use more effective methods with special softwares allowing multiple captures, etc...

Seriously, yes there is.

1. Hit CONTROL and PRINT SCREEN buttons simultaneously

2. Open PAINT

3. Click on EDIT on top and then PASTE

4. Click SAVE AS then change the picture extension to JPEG

All set to go post now

Status: offline 		Yeah I have no problem capturing the image but once I paste it in paint, I can't seem to shrink the pic to eliminate all the white borders and properly save it. It seems like what I paste is just a tiny little square in the upper left corner of the whole image.

Also, I have 4 gigs of RAM and I keep running into "memory problems" when trying to work with said image

Edit: OK, will try those pointers you guys provided. What a newb

Best thing i found is IRFANview - allows you to crop photos painlesslessly and resize quickly and easily... it is a free download.
