I put a new screen saver in today and it shows real nice old posters-I would like to make copies of the photos but I have not figured out the best way to do it-The screen changes every 10 seconds or so and another photo is dispayed-Of course right clicking the print button won't work as the screensaver stops when the mouse is moved-I have a new Cannon printer and I read the manual looking for a way to just print directly from ther printer rather then using the mouse-I did not find an option for that-so; I went to the files and attempted to print from there but there is no print option available when I right click on the file-I am starting to think that the company that is selling these posters does not want them printed out-even tho they would be much smaller then the originals-Any ideas on this-?

Well, actually, the screen saver company probably does NOT want you to print them out. It could be a violation of the copyright law.
Have you tried pressing the Prt Scr (Print Screen) button on your keyboard? I don't know if that will work or not. That button puts an image of the screen in the clipboard. To get it, open a graphics program, like Paint, and go to the Edit menu and select Paste. That should give you the image.
If that does not work, the only thing that you can do is try to find the image files in the screen saver folder. If the screen saver program may hide them because they do not want you to print them out.

There is a program called EasyScreen (It cost me $18.95 in April 2000). This program will convert any screen image or any part of a screen image to any of several image formats, including JPG. Your problem will be to get it activated before the image goes away.

Thanks folks-I do figure they are trying hard to keep people from making copies of them as some of these posters are rare-originals; costing in the thousands-It's funny because the I used to have lots of them at home because they gave the posters away free as you walked in the door at the Fillmore-So-I should have held onto them-I just have a hard time paying for them now; when I used to use em to get a fire started at the beach when we went surfing-My; times have changed-
