Any ideas short of the "printscreen" button?

but someone has just given me a similar file that gives me the same message when I try an alt-print screen.

however in vista, if you fire up the snipping tool, you can take a capture of the pics quite easily!... though I don't think that the pics in the exe are at full resolution.

Well these are the man's wedding photos, so I figured he'd still have the disk and besides, I've had a photographer distribute this sort of slideshow to me in 2007 going on 08' so hopefully it will have relevance to someone else -especially if they come across this thread the same way I did... good ol' Google.

Even though Vista wasn't available in 04' other tools of a similar nature were - this snipping tool is quite a trivial application as you may already know.
