Windows CE 6.0 on netbook, need to take screenshots
Just bought a Sylvania Netbook from CVS drugstore that has Windows CE 6.0 on it. I need to take some screenshots with it. Can I do this and how? What programs do I need? I've been searching the Internet but each program I download will not install on it. It says the program is not a valid CE app. Help! Thanks a lot.1 person needs an answerI do too

Addendum: The keyboard has a print screen button. If that takes a picture of the screen then that is great. But I still need a program to paste the screenshot into. What might that be? Thanks.

But I still need a program to paste the screenshot into. What might that be? Thanks.Back in the days of DOS, the PrtScn key used to print the screen. Butin all versions of Windows, this works differently, and the name ofthe key is now an anachronism. The key does not print the screen.PrtScrn captures the whole screen, and Alt-PrtScrn captures the activewindow.Either one captures the image to the Windows clipboard. Once it's inthe clipboard you can paste (Ctrl-V) it into any application thatsupports graphics (Windows Paint, other graphics programs, even yourfavorite word processor). You can edit or add to the image as youwish, then print it.This ability to manipulate the image in a program before printing itis an improvement over the original DOS method of just printing it.But if you'd like that old facility back, there are severalthird-party freeware/shareware programs that can do this, such asPrintKey2000 athttp://www.sharewarejunkies.com/00zwd2/printkey2000.htmKen Blake (MS MVP)

Ken, thank you for the reply. Yes I use the print screen on my computer a lot and am aware of its capabilities. What I need, if the PrtScr key works on the CE machine I have, is a program to install that I can paste the capured image to. Are you aware of such a program to install on my netbook? It would need to be very small in size as the netbook I have is not very big on ram.

Or youcould use the PrintKey 2000 I mentioned.Ken Blake (MS MVP)

Thanks again, Ken. I just found out that the netbook I'm using is really a NETBOOK! You can only browse the Internet with it. No installing anything. But what do you expect for $100. So I will use my camera for the screenshots.
