The "Take Picture" button in the latest release of Alice 2.3 has been removed.<br><br>By way of explanation, this was not an arbitrary decision. The problem is that the built-in "Take a Picture" in Alice 2<br>was created using Direct X for the PC. Therefore, it doesn't work for Mac users and recent updates of Direct X cause<br>problems on newer systems (Vista, Windows 7, and now Windows 8).<br><br>Therefore, we have had a increasing number of complaints and that has led to disabling the feature and asking<br>people to simply use whatever screen capture they have on their computer. See the following links:<br><br>For Windows<br> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Take-a-screen-capture-print-screen<br><br>For OS X<br> http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/screencapturemac/ht/macscreenshot.htm<br><br>Let me know if you have any other questions.<br><br>Don Slater<br><br>Alice Team<br>Carnegie Mellon
