The print screen button is extremely useful if a photo of the contents of the monitor's screen is required. Simply press the button, and then open a graphics software program, such as Microsoft Paint. By selecting 'paste', the screen capture will then be transferred into your Paint program ready to be edited.

How do you take screenshots in Star Trek elite force 2 for the PC oooooo what button do you press on the keyboard oooooo is it one of the function keys?

Screenshots on computers are taken using the PrntScrn (Print Screen) button, located at the top of the keyboard between F12 and Scroll Lock. Sometimes, they get automatically saved into a pre-assigned folder, as the client is set up to do just that, with some games. I cannot answer specifically for Star Trek Elite Force 2, but I can answer for the general method : Push PrntScrn (Print Screen) button, open Paint, click Edit -> Paste, and save the file as a .jpg (Example; screenshot.jpg) Noting where it's saved, you could upload it to a picture hosting site (such as photobucket, for example) and share it with your online friends. Happy gaming! ♥

Some even older Macs had a power key on the keyboard which would switch on the computer.
