The clipboard is held in memory (a virtual clipboard) so once you turn your PC off you will lose it. Its the same as COPY and PASTE where you would copy some text from the web using COPY and then PASTE them say onto this forum page. The text you copyed is only held in memory. One you make that grab it copys it to the virtual clipboard for you. To retrieve this image/grab from the virtual clipboard you will need to use a paint package. I'll say that again later...
Ok as a test we will do a screen grab of this browser window which is active because you are using it (active window). Press the key:
"Alt" and hold, followed by "Print Scrn SYsRq" once.
This will save this active window as a Garb on the virtual clipboard, to retrieve this image/grab from the virtual clipboard you will need to use a paint package. Open PAINT which is on the Start Menu under Accessories.
Once open press the keys:
"Crtl"and hold, followed by "V" once. Your grab will now paste into PAINT.
If you wish to take a full screen grab of your desk top which will grab everything in view then just press the "Print Scrn SYsRq" key on its own once and then as above to paste your grab.
Some emulators you can save screen grabs with anyway like YAPE. Older ones that run under DOS you may not beable too. Some programmes like DVD movies and GAMES use a different display field (not sure of the name) and can not be grabbed.
