Problems with Service Pack 2 to Windows XP

michaeljbrooks
The service pack seemed to install properly and re-boot, and at the boot-up screen where Windows XP asked whether to turn 'automatic updates' on or off I chose off since I never want Windows to access the Internet without my permission.

How can I select a portion of the screen?

packman
This seems like a bit of a dummy question to ask, but how can I 'marquee' a portion of any screen, in order to save it as an htm file? Any screen means either online or offline. In most offline situations, there are no menu bars from which you can select commands.
