Screen Captures

I am trying to make a screen capture of the Start Menu in Vista Home Premium,
using the Snipping Tool. However, I cannot get the Start menu to stay on
screen in order to capture it! Any suggestions?
Thanks

Press your print screen button usually situated near scroll lock.
This doesn't make the menu disappear.

Print screen key, then paste it into Paint, word, whatever.

Hi "Mick":
I just wanted to thank you for helping explain the use of the Prt Scrn
key on the keyboard. I've never known how to capture an image of the screen
and really appreciate you explaining something that I'm sure a lot of the
younger folks know how to do.

Hi again Mick:
You're a youngster to me.........I'd never even seen a computer when I
was 59! (Except of course "HAL 9000" in the movie "2001 A Space Odyssey" LOL!)
