Hi HeavyMetal,

Are you saying you can take screenshots with Infanview?
I use Infanview to edit photos but, I didn't know you could also take screenshots.

I have been using one called SnapShooter which seems to work pretty well, all ya have to do is hit Print Scrn each time you want to take a screen shot  ;D

If you dont like Infanview, GrabClipSave works well. You need not stop anything, just push PrintScreen

About IrfanView......

To take a screen shot with IrfanView you have to open (and configure) the screen shot dialog in the menu and click start.

Then all you have to do is hit the hot key combo to take a screen shot as often as you wish just as with GCS.
This is done with out any pauses and is only acompanied by a reasuring conferming sound.
Be sure to check the "save captured image as file" option.

I have been using it for many years and have watched it mature and grow.
It is one of the handiest, bug free, freeware programs you can have!
Even if you have other graphic programs such as photo shop, etc, you will find yourself using IrfanView very often.

It's one of the first programs I always install after a reformat
