Go to desired page that you want a screen shot on.

Press "Print Screen".

Go to your photo editing program, and press paste.

Have you seen that TV commercial where the guy has a mystery light switch on his wall so he asks his wife to watch while he flips it on and off repeatedly; meanwhile the neighbor lady's garage door is going up and down on top of her car? Well maybe something like that is happening when you keep pressing print screen; some poor little old lady is getting reams of porno printed on her ink-jet.

Nah, when you press print screen, it copies to the clip board and you need to paste it into a program that can recognize jpg files.

Well if it's a laptop it may have a second function or an "fn" key, somewhere along those lines.

Like a calculator.

As VD and elliot explained:

1- hit print screen
2- open MS Paint
3- select "paste" from edit menu.
4- Save file as jpeg or bmp.

Of course, if you just want the current window, you can hold the alt button while you press print screen.
