Press PrintScreen, then open a graphics program (Paint Shop Pro eg), and paste the graphic into there. Dos / command line windows can also be capture this way, but there is another way. Click on the icon in the top left of the window, and use the edit / select / copy functions to copy the text, and paste it into the application of your choice. I have of course assumed that your error messages are appearing in a console window, and not in a gui window. Chris
