I've seen people do it, and I tried searching, but I haven't found it, so...

How do you make a picture of what's on your computer screen? I'd at least like to know how, in case I ever need to post my own DS takeover... icon_superevil.gif

Okay, so that's not the reason. icon_heh.gif

I'm pretty sure what you have to do is press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard and then open MS Paint or something and go to "Edit -> Paste" then you save the picture.

You can also press ALT+PRT SCRN in order to take a snapshot of the currently active dialog box.

Depending on what you're taking a screenshot of (videos and games, generally), you may have to disable hardware overlays first. Do that by going to Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot and moving the slider down. Just remember to turn it back up afterward.
