Re: print screen button

One way to get your screenshot is to paste it into 'paint' save that file
and then attach or copy that picture into the e-mail

Personally, I use Hypersnap (www.hyperionics.com). But then, screen shots
are a daily part of my life, and I need the features, simplicity and support
of hypersnap. At a quite reasonable price. Works well in 64bit, both vista
and XP, I might add.

Re: print screen button

You can send it using the default mail program using the file/send button

Re: print screen button

If you do a lot with screen captures, I'd recommend getting a dedicated
program for them. I use and highly recommend HyperSnap. Great support, solid
feature set, and it works well in 64-bit. www.hyperionics.com

Re: print screen button

No thanks. I've been using HyperSnap for 13 years now (yeah, since Win95
beta), and I'm not likely to switch. It's simply the best out there, IMNSHO.
