What's the source material? DVD? videotape? Real media/WMP/MPEG?

Ick. Depending on the compression of the .wma (which is really just .asf) you might have a bit of a problem getting a screencap to work. First place to start is by downloading SnagIt- a very fine program indeed.

If its something you can wait on until this evening, I will be able to help you when I get home and onto my own computer.

Easiest way: Make sure the window playing the video is the current program on top. When the pic you want is on your screen, press the Alt and Print Screen (PrtScn or whatever it is on your keyboard) buttons. Then open your paint program and click Paste.
