Problem with screenshots

I usually take screens by Print Screen + Paint, but it takes ages. Is there an easier way?

A program called Fraps, for example. You must convert the file to .jpg or .png afterwards though, since the free version saves them as .bmp (huge file size). You don't have to turn off anti-aliasing when you use it.

Do you know of any bmp-jpg converters? I have a trial one, but I've got 4 uses of it left

You could use Paint to do the converting, but unless you want your pictures to be full of artifacts I wouldn't recommend it. I personally use Gimp since it's free and allows you to choose the compression level of the files.
