But it's realy anoying when you can't hide the controlls in the exterior view.

When I take screenshots I prefer to not have the controlls.

To hide/show the controllers and the interface, you just have to hit "TAB" on your keyboard.

Because nothing is supposed to happens, just open M$ Paint->Edition->Paste.

The downside of taking a printscreen, is that you have to paste it somewhere before you make a new shot.

If you use FRAPS or something similiar you can take endless pictures which are auomaticly saved in the designated folder.

Hi Jim,
You can get a FREE download of Fraps here:-   http://www.fraps.com/download.php
To take a screenshot all you do is press F10, it's as easy as falling off a wall. If a REALLY old chap like me can do it, so can you.

Regards,
Angus.

Makes life quite interesting, glad it works for you Jim. I can remember having exactly the same question and getting help, fast too, from [RWP]DJM. He was a huge help to many when he was around, but sadly, illness has kept him from the forum.
