Cant you do the same thing with the "print screen" key?

Pros
Cons
Using the Print Screen key on your keyboard does the same thing, so why do you need this program?

Pros
Very easy to use and understand! There is absolutely no reason anybody shouldn't have this tool!
Cons
Okay, maybe the install is in a foreign language. I figured it out! It works great! I've installed it on ALL my machines.

Bugs fixed in newer version GetMyScreen™ 1.0.33
mayr-softwareJanuary 28, 2005
Pros
The new installer in 1.0.33 is better. Missing DLLs are included and are registered. Most bugs in file saving dialogs are fixed. The upcoming 1.0.35 will support sending screenshots to StarOffice/OpenOffice.
Cons
The version published here (1.0.12) is still buggy. Please visit the authors homepage to get the latest Version!

It came up with the DLL not found error. I was expecting a good program, and pressing print screen doesn't save a picture to a file, of work in aplications.
DLL required

Summary
After downloading and running, the application then informs me that it requires MSSTDFMT.dll to run. I don't have this and there is no indication as to where to find it.

Why waste the disk space downloading this program when you can just press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard and do the exact same thing this program does?
Perfect tool
