How to Take Print Screen During Windows Installation?

AI Thread Summary
Taking a screenshot during a Windows installation can be challenging since the print screen function is not available at that stage. Alternatives include using a camera to capture images or running the installation within a virtual machine, such as VMWare or Microsoft's Virtual PC, which is available for free. When using a virtual machine, the shortcut ALT + PrtScrn can be utilized to capture only the active window, making it easier to document the installation process.

Print screen is a function of windows. How can you use that function when you are installing and that function is not installed? You can use camera to take pics.

Pro Tip: In Windows, using ALT + PrtScrn copies only the currently selected window (e.g. the one in which your virtual machine is running), instead of the entire desktop:

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
