Print Scrn then paste to photoshop or whatever you have.

If you use the print screen button (or prtsc or however it's abbreviated on your keyboard) it will copy a screenshot to the clipboard. Then you can paste it into Photoshop or whichever program you use.

The clipboard is where something goes when your copy or cut it and before you paste it. When you click paste it is copied from the clipboard to wherever you pasted it.

I think it keeps it in the RAM so you can paste it into another program to work on.

Try Alt and Print Screen at the same time; it will capture only the active window (window on top and won't catch the background).
