IF you have windows, JUST PRESS THE PRINTSCREEN KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD!!!!! It's to the left of scroll lock. Then, open paint and press ctrl + v

Look next too f12 and press the printscreen button. Then go to paint or something and paste.

I found this after about 20 seconds of searching Google and Wikipedia:

If you don't like that, there's a bunch more programs <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screencast">here</a>, or search for "make screencast" on Google.

Taking screenshots? You didn't know about the Print Screen button? You've got to be kidding me.

1. Press Print Screen
2. Open an image editor (Paint, GiMP...) and paste.
3. Save.
4. Hit yourself in the head with a paper towel tube because you didn't figure that out before.
