Did anyone get the CTRL +I thing to work because it won`t work in my windows media player 9,but isearch a bit and found another way to do svreen shots in WMP 9.Goto tool in WMP9 click on the performance tab and slide the acceleration slider to the bottom and hey presto you can take a screen shot just open it in paint,but remember to turn it back up to play your movies as it kinda goes all wierd if you put it on to full screen.

if you want to prtsc and ctrl+v in paint
goto preference
then video
then advance
un click use overlays
then you can print screen and paste in paint

you don&#39;t have to turn the accelerator down when you uncheck overlays
with it unchecked you can prtsc and ctrl+v in paint or photoshop ect

have you actually tried to do this, if you paste the image in paint or photoshop then minimise the player or close it then you lose the image until you open the player again.

you dont end up with a static copy
