Screen Capture using Windows OS

[ElDiabloConCaca]

How 'bout on the macbook pro? There is no f14 key. I am running boot camp on the MBPro

I would love to find this answer

Thanks!

Use byronw70's suggestion. Fire up the On-Screen Keyboard, then click the "Control" key, then the "PSC" (Print screen) key. After that, open Wordpad, and "paste." You will have a screenshot then.

My only trouble is I AM LAZY! I liked being able to simply press prt scrn or alt prtscreen. I will have to make a shortcut to the on screen keyboard - but the the keyboard will be in my screen shot - an I often need the Entire screen.

I will try it though and if it works out I will try a short cut to cut down on the steps

thanks

Read about Input Remapper.

Thanks for that one. I have tried that in the past (about 3 weeks ago) and it would not remap consistently. I really didn't have time to fiddle with it. For now I am using the windows keyboard which is a mediocre solution - but at least it works. I can mostly hide the keyboard on the screen so I get the majority of what I need when I need it

thanks again

I'm using a macbook pro dual booted with windows.
To get a screen capture just hold Shift + Fn + F11...
If im not mistaken the bootcamp CD mentions something like this. Unfortunately I didn't pay it any mind and had to brute force key combinations to get it. Luckily i got it in less than a minute.

hope this helps

That was great - I swore I tried it before with no Joy. But I did have to blow away boot camp and start over this last week so maybe I had broken that previously in some way.

anyway - thanks so much!

I'd prefer installing a utility like SnagIt or IrfanView. No strange key combinations to remember, no need to start Word(Pad), and both are available in a free version...

As a sidenote to the MBPro: It lacks some useful keys like the right Alt key or a dedicated insert key. I'm using a simple USB numeric key pad with NumLock switched off. So I get many of the special PC keys for working in Windows (Parallels). It does its job not only in Windows but also in MacOS (like PgDn without the use of Fn in Firefox).

First Alternative: You can use the following to do a screen capture on windows using Apple wireless keyboard. (I'm running windows os via bootcamp on my macbook pro). You must have OneNote that comes with Microsoft Office 2007.

Click the command + s keys. The screen will yellow out. Then drag your mouse over the area of the screen you want a screen shot of. OneNote then will auto start containing the screen shot. You can right click on the screen shot to save and paste or edit it from there.

I thought this was the easiest way withou having to use any function keys.

Second Alternative: If you don't have OneNote, you can go to to the start menu > all programs > accessories > accessibility > on-screen keyboard. When the keyboard appears click on the psc key.
