Sending a screen shot to Unlocked Dongle (Windows)

A screen shot is a saved picture of content that appears on your computer screen. Screen shots are helpful for technical support when you have received an error that is hard to describe in words.

 

To create a screen shot:

1. Reproduce the error that you want technical support to see. Leave it on the screen.

2. On your keyboard, press the Print Screen button (sometimes called 'PrtScr'), usually near the top right of your keyboard.
