In the game, when you are at the screen you want ...press shift and prt scr keys simultaneously. Now exit the game and open the Paint program. Select Edit, and then Paste... the screenshot will now be displayed. Save the pic with a filename (use save as selection). If you want to share your screenshot on these forums there is a good sticky thread for how to do that near the top of the post list if you select Everthing for the forum selection.

The easiest way is to download FRAPS (google it).

It doesn't use a lot of resources, and it is far less tedious than hitting printscreen and copy and pasting shots to files.

Fraps also has the added advantage of being able to film the game, allowing you to make mini gc2 movies.
