Hit your "Print Screen" key (it's labeled Prt Scr on most keyboards, and is above the arrow keys). That will capture the screen. Then just open up photoshop or paint or whatever and paste... voila.

to the clipboard ..
but there are various screenshot utils which will automatically save the bitmap ..
you may want to try and search for "screenshot" at download.com

They get saved to the clipboard but they also get saved into your My Documents/My Pictures/Freelancer Shots folder...They all are in .bmp format though so you'll need to convert then and I recommend emptying it every once in a while.

hey *spam alert* you might want to try my no H.U.D screencapture mod here if you're going to do movie captures,it'll save cropping for one thing.

*I know i know,its not modular.Give me a while to learn script or offer to script the xml for me and I'll give you all the values I used & the scripting credit is yours

FRAPS

Screen Capture Software - Take a screenshot with the press of a key! There's no need to paste into a paint program every time you want to capture the screen. Your screen captures are also automatically named and timestamped.

Fraps 2.5.5 which is free to download
