At the risk of sounding like a total dunce, can anyone tell me how to save images of modular patches for posting on Planet Z?

If you are using Windows, hit Ctrl + Print Scrn. That will then capture the screen in the windows "clipboard". You can then paste the screenshot in photoshop, coreldraw, or paint(which comes standard with the windows OS). Adjust the picture to your liking & save as either .bmp or .jpeg & you'll be set to go!

I have a program called CLIP.
Just recorded the size and part of the screenshot of your choice.
...but it won't work under XP.
Ctrl+PrintScreen takes picture of both monitors, is there a way around that?
(i have matrox 450 - dual monitors)
I found a program called "Bulent's Screen Recorder", from witch you can record video or frames, but still not so "simple" and userfriendly as CLIP.
Somebody know of a "simple" screenshot program?

Alt-PrintScreen just captures the topmost window, rather than the entire screen.
