Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out how to capture screen shots in Windows on my Imac. On a PC keyboard there is a dedicated print screen button, but there is no corresponding button on an apple keyboard. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Option - Shift - 3 will save a screen shot your entire screen to your desktop. Option - Shift - 4 will bring up a little cross hair thing so you can define what you want in the scren shot. Option - Shift - 4 + Spacebar will give you a little camera which you can use to take a screen shot of only one window.

There's probably more... I know there's someway to just copy it to the clipboard, but I can't remember it...

You sure that's in Windows ;)

Wow... should've read better. I was just so excited since I recently figured out the spacebar thing. My bad... Stupid Windows.

I used keytweak to remap my printscreen button to the home-button. (It changes the registry)

If you are interested in taking screenshots or movies in games or showing your FPS, you might want to try FRAPS.
