Double click on the INSTALL.CMD file and the BITMAPS subdirectory will be created into that directory of your choice. On your desktop the DS2BMP V3.00 folder will be created. This folder contains the shadow of that BITMAPS directory and the icon of the "MDOS grabber".

In case the running program has taken full control over the keyboard, it is possible that the PrintScreen key is not working anymore. Try PF12 instead.
