Right now I just use snipping tool and that works fine, but I can only cap what is on the screen not like what I would see if I scrolled up or down. Can anyone recommend/tell me how to take those kind of screencaps wuthout buying some program. TYIA

Since you said entire webpage, there's this addon if you use Firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/screengrab/

If you don't use Firefox, just name your browser and I'm sure there are other alternatives.

Why use a tool when there is a "print screen" button on all keyboards, you then just paste into a graphics program.
What about using "print to file." Don;t know what to do from there, but it might import to a program from there.

Print screen only captures what is on your screen, not the entire webpage, as he stated in the op.

You can use CutePDF Writer (http://www.cutepdf.com/) (Free for personal use). It will add a virtual printer to your system, and anything you print to that printer gets saved as a PDF file.

For some reason I can take a shot of an entire webpage using the software NASpurs linked and its huge if I open it in Paint or GIMP but when I upload it to Photobucket or flickr it becomes smaller. Like 1/3 the size I see in Paint or GIMP. I can't figure this shit out. Here's an example:

I'm using imgur and it works fine apparently. Do you need to use flickr or photobucket specifically?

If you're going to use imgur, make sure and copy the link that says "Direct Link (email & IM)"
