Thanks.

Will it capture a screen shot of a video playing on Windows Media Player?

Yes, Videos, games and anything on-screen can be captured instantly with a click of a button! Also, its not a complicated utility. Ive made it rather simple, simply click and its done basically.

Sounds good, I'll check it out. Thanks for posting it!

forgive me if i'm wrong but... isn't this what the button "print screen" on your keyboard does? -[raises eyebrow]-
I use print screen all the time then paste it into any image editor (including ms paint)
also i don't know if its just "alt+print screen" or "ctrl+printscreen" or what i do "ctrl+alt+printscreen" but one of those captures just the active window.

Will try the application thankyou
