    When playing a game sometimes I want to save the image of the screen (high score, etc). How do I do that? I used to know but haven't figured that out when playing Call of Duty.



    Thanks.

    i think you press printscreen and then go to MSpaint.

    it worked when i wanted to save my tecmo superbowl score.

    try it first though it may not work for certain games

    OK, this is a stupid question, but did anybody ever get their name in Nintendo Power after sending in a photo of their high score? I never was good enough to get those high scores. I remember everybody sent in their Super Mario Bros. score - 999,999,950. I would have had to play for 10 or 12 straight hours to do that...

    Where do I find it once it's saved since a "save" box doesn't pop up when I use the "print screen" key?

    also maybe do a file search in explorer with the game name?

    Hit "Cntrl + v" in MSPaint.

    Control-v works to paste the image to MS Word, too.

    CTRL-V works to paste most anything into anything that allows pasting... it's a Windows standard keyboard shortcut.
