I know it can be done cause I did it years ago when I played. Now that I got it to work with XP and get some nice resolution, I FORGOT HOW TO TAKE THE DARNED SCREENSHOT, and blood forums so far been no help.

If you’re using Windows, can’t you just hit the “Print Screen” button on your keyboard, launch “Paint” (or another photo/paint program) and hit “Paste”? That usually works for me, unless I’m running an old DOS application.

Holy sh1te, it WORKED! BWUAHAHAHA, thanks!  
I was thinking what was the in-game command to take a screenshot, while your suggestion works and satisfies my immediate curiosity of taking a screenshot, It requires you to alt-tab from the game, and paste it in a paint editor. The in-game command allows you to take as many as you want and then after the game is over you can browse’em later.  
Thanks a lot though.
