try downloading GCS (Grab Clip Save)

Have a search for it on google. I couldnt find it here.
All you do is configure it, press the 'Print Screen' key in game.
and voila, picture taken  ;D

Also, to resize the picture use a tool like PixResizer from http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm.

Remember, 800x600 @100kb is the forum max! For info on how to post an image click here.

Apologies to:
1) Mods - but I think this does belong in this forum.
2) Whoever's screenshot that is! ;D

You just press the PRINT SCREEN button ......... then paste it into an image editor .......this  method overwrites  the last image every time you press print screen so if you dont save it each time you loose it.

However there is an easier way, download FSScreen from the utilities section of this site. This saves the images to its own directory for you to manipulate at a later date.
