Sir/Madam im using windows xp so im having problem in taking screen outputs of my program please help tell me any software of othere help i have to submit my project

im afraid to say i have no clue what your talking about
could you clearafy?

Press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. Then open up MS paint and hit "paste".

You can crop it accordingly if you just want to show your program.

You mean you want to output text to the screen?

The problem is that i am using windows xp so i am getting difficulty in copying the screen outputs to ms paint.
I tried using "print screen" and pasting into paint but nothing happened. kindly help me as soon as possible 'coz have to submit 'ma project



yes , but "printscrn" and then "pasting" into paint doesnt work in xp.

What are you trying to take a screenshot of? It works just fine in WinXP for normal windows, console or otherwise. The only problem I'm aware of comes when trying to get screenshots in windows running 3D graphics.

CTRL+Print Screen will capture just the window that currently has focus.



And finally, this has absolutely nothing to do with C/C++ - it will probably be moved shortly. Please post in the correct forum next time, not just the first one you see. This belongs in Computer Support.

Can you describe better what you are trying to take a image of. It sounds almost like a program you made and you want to take a screen shot of the console output correct?

The print screen function should be working correctly but paint might not be set up to properly paste the image into pant. Do this.

1. Open paint and click on image on the top bar
2. Select Attributes or kit control-E
3. In the window that comes up put 1 in for width and 1 in for height
4. Click the circle for pixels
5. Click ok and ur done

Basically what that did is resized your default page that paint brings up. Sometimes if it to large people have a issue copying in a image for some unknown reason. With it set at 1x1 the canvas (or white page) will grow with the picture you paste in giving it the exact dimensions of the image you are pasting. This way the canvas is not to large.

Also is their anything special you are running on your system graphics wise? Have you reprogrammed any features on your keyboard?

Your problem is not a limitation with XP, because I've used this feature many many times.
Are you by chance on a laptop? You'll need to make sure that you are using the correct key sequence to issue the print-screen. As well, you can use Alt-Print Screen to capture only the application currently in focus.

On most laptops, you'll need to press the Fn + Insert Combination for a PrintScreen.
