Screen shots?

I'm fairly certain someone has the answer for me, but I couldn't find it in the instruction guide. How can I take screenshots of the map and certain ships?

Use the print screen button to copy the image, then paste it into paint. Not very practical, but the only way that I have found so far.

any image editing program will work actually, such as Jasc paint shop pro, just push print screen and then paste. May also help to have a program that can capture the image like Irfanview or hypersnap, but not entirely neccesary.

Also, make sure you save the image as a .jpg because that takes up less memory and doesn't take as long for the browser to upload it than a .bit or .gif file.

there's also a freeware program called Hoversnap that i use. it re-writes the print screen button such that it'll automatically save a finished image file when you press the button, rather than having windows store it to the clip board. it's incredibly easy, and it isn't a memory hog either.

I usually use Irfanview's screen capture system, which works famously.

I think it does have a capture option anyways, haven't used it in a while though. Still useful though.
