Screenshots

I am thinking of doing an AAR, but have no clue how to capture a screenshot. I remember reading a post before, but can't find it. Any suggestions?

And PS, I prefer not to spend money, and also keep it simple.

My keyboard has a 'Print Screen' key. I hit that, tab out to my graphics viewer (Irfanview - freeware), then copy/paste into it and save the file. You can alter it via Paint.NET (which is also freeware). Finally, because you're cheap, you can post it via Imageshack for all of nothing.

Materialiser is free and very usefull to take quickly many screenshots.
I use it for most of my AARs, it makes all the copy+ALT+TAB+paste chain obsolete. :niark:
Later, you can use imageshak or photobucket to upload your images.

Now he just needs a tool to open a .rar :niark:

(too lazy to find a link, but WinRar is probably the standard tool to do so...)
