1	The Print Screen Key, just saying... (open paint and press CTRL + V) & You got your screen shot. Then if you want something really snappy, use Snipping Tools which came with Vista & Windows 7. answered Feb 21 '11 at 11:23 _GTech 1.3k●16●23●43

0	Camstudio. It's great software and best of all, it's free! answered Feb 21 '11 at 06:35 Hugo 1.7k●24●31●51 edited Feb 21 '11 at 06:36

Windows or Mac? For Windows, I have found TechSmith's SnagIt to be an unbelievably good program. However, it isn't actually free.

I haven't used it, but ScreenHunter has great reviews over at CNET, and is well worth checking out.

On the Mac, I haven't found I need any more than what's built in, but I have read about a few very good alternatives. I can't remember now what they were though…

Oh and yeah you can use a free photo editing tool and press Ctrl+V to paste it in. (or right click --> Paste)
