Screenshots - Copy Conversations, or anything on the screen, at any time
Instructions:
1) Hit the "PRINTSCREEN" key. (usually located above the
arrow keys in the top row of the keyboard)
2) Open MSPAINT program (stock on all windows pc's)
(located at START> PROGRAMS> ACCESSORIES> "PAINT"
3) Hold down your "control" key
4) Type the letter "V" while still holding your control key
pressed.
5) You should now be told your image is too large and asked
to enlarge your bitmap if your entire screen doesn't
paste onto your canvas already. "SAY YES"
6) You now simply need to save this image and you can send
it to TOH or friends whenever needed.
....please please please ... follow these next steps to reduce your image file size though they are not required to make a screenshot......
7) Click "FILE" and then "SAVE AS" at the top of MSPAINT
with your image now on your MSPAINT canvas.
8) Below the place to name your file please use the
pulldown menu to select "JPEG" as the "SAVE AS TYPE"
9) Also make sure to name your file something you can
easily recall and I would suggest just saving it to your
desktop. You can later place it in a file somewhere
else if needed but it will be easily found for sending in
to ToH by email at this point.
P.S. Of course there are screenshot programs that do something similar to this, however for bringing down the file size and producing a GREAT image this method works verrry well. I was once commented to by a computer tech friend on what program I was using for my screenshots since he liked the image better then his and once I told him this method he said something to the effect of what an idiot he felt after hearing this

This was the original message on this thread, but I hate to read verbage and figure others do too. Thus I post this below for those who would rather have the details about using this method.
======Original Post========
This is a simple how to for capturing anything on your screen anytime you want. Though it may look like lots of steps this is very simple once you try it. I was just very detail so that there is no mistake.
Uses: Zone Messages sent to you, Zone or Gamespy chats (though simple copy and paste to word or notepad is better).
Another example of use, in game your opponent says something suspicious like, "Wow, I just had this stack of Angels join me," even though his hero is carrying only a small stack of gnolls. You can print this easily for supportive evidence if you make a screenshot. It would also be useful in this situation if you were making Saves
Instructions:
1) Hit the "PRINTSCREEN" key. (usually located above the
arrow keys in the top row of the keyboard)
2) Open MSPAINT program (stock on all windows pc's)
