Hit the [PrtSqrn] button.
Go into MS Paint
"File" at the top left of the screen
Then "paste"
Make sure you save.

hi, you can capture any area of your desktop easily and quickly with !Quick Screen Capture. I always use this great program. You can also add annotation on your captured images. Hope it can help!

You can do that with M$ Paint too... And, as a bonus, it is already installed on any M$ OS...!!

Oh, and to the Original Post...

You might want to change the save type from the default (.BMP) to a .JPEG or .JPG file... It is normally smaller that way...

If you're using Fista, and maybe Windows7 has the same, you can also use the 'Snipping Tool'. Click Start, then start typing Snip and it should be listed.

You can simply highlight the area you're interested in and it will copy only that section of the screen/s...
