[comp.windows.ms] Screen Dump from DOS-Application under Win3.0

dcling@athena.mit.edu (Douglas C Ling) (10/07/90)

I have a problem screen-dumping (Print Scr) from QuickBasic 4.5 running as a non-windows DOS application under windows 3.0. Pressing shift-PrScr results in a flash on the sscreen but no output on the printer. 
I have a 386-20, 2Meg with a HP VGA card (Paradise chip set) w/256k. I can use the shift-PrSc from normal DOS 4.0 operation (after GRAPHICS.COM has been loaded)
but not from within Windows.

Any suggestions?

If you hit print screen while running windows.  The current screen is printed to
the clipboard.
