If the the Video is fullscreen...press PRINT SCRN key....

If the Video is in a reduced window...press ALT+PRNT SCRN

Now open MS PAINT
Pick a clear spot in the right window pain,right click,choose PASTE
If it comes up and says resize click yes...
The pic should now be in the Paint program ready for Editing or save it to your Hardrive as a .bmp,jpg or gif

Hope that helps.... :mrgreen:
