I read that what you can do to copy and paste from WMP is you can freeze the frame you want, hit your "print screen" key and then go to your photo-editing software and paste it into a page. What that does is copy your entire monitor screen, then you can crop out all the extraneous stuff to get just the picture inside the player.
Now, I tried this, and it only worked once, the rest of the time it just copied and pasted a black screen. But....my computer is a dinosaur, all of a sudden, so it probably just can't handle the video demands. It's probably worth a shot, if either of you want to try it. I managed to only get one picture because now my Windows MP won't play the darned file at all--it just sits on the very first frame and doesn't move while the sound continues on without it. LOL, what a nightmare.
