With the error report displayed on your screen, do the following.
Hit the Alt + Print Screen keys at the same time. This will capture the image of
the active window and place it on your clipboard.
Next, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories and open the Paint program.
Note: You can also launch this program through Start -> Run -> mspaint.exe.
In Paint, click on the Edit menu and select Paste.
You can now edit the image and save it to whatever image file format you want.

Good luck

Pressing the <PrtScn> key copies the entire display, including the
Desktop Wallpaper, to the clipboard (iow, into RAM). Pressing
<ALT>+<PrtScn> copies only the active Window to the clipboard. To view
the screen capture, open a graphics program, such as MS Paint, and press
<CTRL>+V. This will paste the contents of the clipboard (your
screenshot) into the open file, and allow you to view it or save it as a
file for later use.

Screen shots go to the clipboard. You then have to Paste them into some
relevant application.
So if you take say three screen shots in a row, only the last one is
going to be there on the clipboard if yu haven't inserted the shots into
some program each time you take a snapshot.
