Hi

Screenshots are bitmaps. 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.
