How do you take screenshots of ObjectDock?!?!

from WinCustomize Forums
I've been playing around with object dock for quite a while now.... its truly excellent. But, when it comes to taking screenshots of it, im running in circles. I use "!Quick Screen Capture" as my screenshot program (for some reason or another my "Print Screen" button doesnt do anything ). I'm using Win XP pro, to squelch any questions about the OS, and this screenshot thing is driving me crazy. I can't seem to take screenshots of any transparent windows or displays (i.e. objectdock). Is there a better software to be using, or a different way to take screenshots? Somebody, please, help!!

After you use PrtSc - are you opening up a graphics program and pasting it into a new file? PrtSc only puts the image to the clipboard.

It's an intergral part of Windows - so if that's not working, well, your install is messed up somehow.

99.99% of the people here just use PrtSc.

Might I also add, that Alt-PrtScreen will capture just an open window. That comes in useful at times too.

kthxbye, thank you so much for your words on PrntScrn.... i had no idea it put it on the clipboard. I guess that means its been working the whole time without me knowing it \ . also, thanks to Phoon for that nice open window trick... it does come in handy. everthing is up and running now, in terms of screen capture anyway, so thanx alot to everyone who posted!
