How do I Prt Sc the active window?

[elrasouli]

Hi! I'm currently attending a Moodle seminar and one of the assignments is to PrtSc the active window. I've tried nearly everything.Alt+PrtSc, Alt+Fn+PrtSc, Alt+Ctrl+PrtSc, AltGr+PrtSc, Windows+PrtSc. Nothing seems to work, I cannot get the whole of the active window. I have Windows 7 and Google Chrome. I don't want to install any more programs. Help and Thank you!

Hi elrasouli,

Try the Snipping Tool which can be located at Start > All Programs > Accessories.

Otherwise press the Prt Sc key and then open Paint > Click the Paste icon (top left) – the active window will then appear. You can then save the screenshot in a location and format of your choosing.
