Here is what I do:

While on the desired screen press "printscreen" button on the keyboard, then open MSPaint and select paste. After I am done with the game I open Photoshop and convert the files into .jpg (my comp cannot handle BGII and Photoshop at the same time). You can use any other graphic programs, I suppose.

Such a program might exist, but I have never heard of it. On the other hand if you use say, Photoshop, you can just save it is .jpg and give whatever name you want. Why bother with special programs if you can use what you already have?
