Ya, use the Print Screen key. Windows by default captures it  (the screen)
clipboard.  If you only wanna capture an active window use ALT-Print Screen.
 Open up Windows paint. Edit>paste. This gives ya the image.. now, without
touching the image, grab the edit pulldown and select copy to.  Then follow
the instructions.  This gives ya a bmp file.  they are fine to use.  I did a
whole manual without any third party grabbers.  Only thing is, you HAVE to
be in 640x480x256 mode for the "built in" windows grabbing to work properly.
 If this doens't make sens much, email me and I'll give ya explicit
instructions.
