Can anyone explain to a techno-stoop how to do screen captures? BG needs to do it for a project. I figured one of you might be able to explain it to me without wanting to choke me unconscious.

Isn't it the Printscrn key?

You have to be able to watch DVDs on your computer, I think. As you play a DVD, you can pause and do the printscrn key. I'm guessing people who are able to screen capture TV shows have a DVR and then they take their DVD and put it in their computer and go to town.

Of course, someone needs to explain it better than this.

Also, if your computer is an old clunker, like my laptop, you won't be able to do this. Or you might be able to if you DL some programs online.

Yes, that's what I thought too, but it doesn't seem to be working for her. Oh well, she'll be home tomorrow and maybe her dad can help. I'll make tea. *is all helpful*
