Any suggestions for a portable screen capture utility other than MWSnap?

I use Deskscan: http://www.paehl.de. Not as feature rich as some out there, has only full screen or selection copy. It can also interact with you scanner, if you have one.
I have no problems with it though.

Anything specific you want that the "Print Screen" key won't do for you?

i use screen shoot it, as far as i know it writes no registry entries or leaves any files behind.

I am testing MWSnap 3.00 (http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html). It seems very flexible and allows captures of the whole desktop or of a selected area only.
According to the author "MWSnap does not require installation and does not need any special dlls, drivers or system files which can mess up your system." It does save its settings to the register.
I have been using a very small screen shot utility (~450kb) called ShotGenius which you can find here (http://shotgenius.wininizio.it/index_eng.html). This app was developed by the creator of ZipGenius. It is a single file that does not install. It does come with an Italian lang.txt file that if you omit will produce an english version of the program. Just run and it sits in your system tray. Configuration is very easy by right clicking on the tray icon. Once done, just close the program, no trace is left behind other than any screen shots that you night have saved on the host computer (you can manually select where you want to put the files). I occassionally need a screen shot utility and found this very handy. BTW, it is free as well.
Enjoy!
Try FastStone Image Viewer 2.30 from http://www.faststone.org/
It is an excellent Image Viewer and very sophisticated image capture program. You can capture windows, seected areas and full screen.
And runs no problems from a USB stick.

From the creator of TaskSwitchXP: WinSnap:

(I'm not 100% sure if it's portable) :/
Embrace your dreams
Looks promising but according to a discussion on the forum at NTWind.com (http://www.ntwind.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=159), the program uses the registry. I think they are trying to convince the developer to drop the use of the registry for storing settings and opt for the good old INI file. Hopefully the change will be made because it looks like a nice little program.
I love minimalist program, and this one is really tiny:

not a lot of features, but do its job...
I like this one as well but the settings are stored here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Angeldust\Purrint
ScreenRip32 (SRip32.exe) from http://www.progency.com/other.html#screenrip32 is one of my oldest applications on my PC/Cruzer. Have used it since Win95~NT~2K and now XP.
A basic screen capture program that is freeware and standalone. It has this unique feature that gives you an option of a 10 sec delay before capturing a window or screen. Just nice for showing off the pull-down windows.
You might have to google for it though.

Seems similar to ShotGenius.
Simple 84kb executable, no installation of files on the computer.
Saves images to the clipboard, and if you capture an image from IE, it will also add the website link (unfortunately no similar function for Firefox).

I suggest you use the excellent and *free* IrfanView program.
It will run quite happy on a USB stick.
All you need is the i_view32.exe file
Install the program into a Windows PC and extract the above file.
It's also a *damn good* image viewer.
You'll find the screenshot function by running the program and pressing C
It's got lots of options!

If you don't mind using a .NET application, I've put together ScreenCap, a simple system tray utility that saves screenshots of just the current window or the whole screen when you press a key. The settings are saved in an XML file in the application directory.

Check this program at
http://redllar.virtualplastic.net/fgwndgrab.html
It's small (200kb), sits in system tray, various option to tune (full screen capture, active window, area, custom hotkeys, etc.) and to play with
And, it's completely portable (just enter relative path where it should store your snapshots), and voila!!
I haven`t managed to set up WackGet with proxy server. On File>Preferences on Proxy tab I can type server, but what about port? Maybe it should be set something like 10.0.0.2: 8080 (for server)??? I haven`t actually tried, but I want to know for the next time (I can try it out in my faculty, next week).
the end.................................is just the beginning
I can't say this is a portable app, but it looks like a really nice screen capture program. It's Open Source and in need of developers, so maybe someone can turn this into a full-fledged portable app:

My favorite screen capturing app is cropper, it's the best one I have used, though it requires .NET platfrom installed. It keeps working after re-installing windows so, I assume it doesn't store it's configuration files in registery, though I could be wrong.
EDIT: here is the link for Cropper http://blogs.geekdojo.net/brian/articles/Cropper.aspx AND you can make it portable by just making a file "cropper.portable" in it's directory.
FastStone Capture is now portable. Great

I just use the Prt Scr button, or if I'm feeling really daring Alt & prt Scr
I thought that unless you were trying to capture DVD screenshots, this was all that was required?
Portable GIMP can take a shot from the clipboard (i.e. using the PrintScrn button). Just a reminder.
Vintage!
Yeh, this has been sorta addressed in irfanview ctrl+F11
