Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display to the
clipboard. Pressing <ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to
the clipboard (iow, into RAM). To view the screen capture, open a
graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press <CTRL>+V. This will
paste the contents of the clipboard (your screenshot) into the open
file, and allow you to view it or save it as a file for later use.

OK, got it. Thanks.

Now, where can I post it for help?

I know that posting binaries here will not be appreciated---

Alt-Print Screen will capture the current window, open Paint, use Ctrl-V
(or Shift-Insert or from the menu bar Edit/Paste) to paste the window
capture, then File/Save.

FYI - some people are gonna bitch at you for posting a binary attachment
here. You could alternately put it up on a webpage and post the link to it.

OK--

Here is the link to the screenshot, and an explanation of the problem--

http://img218.echo.cx/my.php?image=screencapture4jm.png

If you'll notice the line above the radar image, the fonts are "over" one
another. This is not the only screen or page that displays this phenomena.
Other pages or windows will also sometimes be missing fonts, have fonts that
are cut off, or otherwise do not display properly.

I have tried changing to different fonts, adjusting monitor settings,
turning Clear Type on and off, all with no success. I've also gone to the
video adapter's website (ATI Radeon X300) and downloaded and installed the
latest driver set, no success.

Does anyone know what may be causing this?

Also, if there would be a more appropriate newsgroup to post this to, please
advise.

Thanks very much for your help.
