Compiling can take a very long time depending on the map. If it's not giving you any errors, just let it sit there and do its thing. It might look like it's frozen or not doing anything, but it most likely is.
And you take screenshots from Hammer just how you take screenshots from anything else. Print Screen, copy into an image editing program, and save.

I have waited 2 hours and its still on hlvis hm!
R there some other compile tools like: Put your map\rmf file here and press this button and your map will compile FASTER THAN THAT STOOPED valve hamer compiler?
;(Man just thinking of it makes me angry;(


*edit*
here's pic and I know the texes r boring but I dont have time 4 them:

You might want to scale up your textures.

 

[Optional]

1) Try removing a lot of extra brushes or merging them.

2) VIS can take a long time depending on the brushwork. Try waiting overnight. I had a map take literally five days to compile. Or, you can try doing a bad compile first. I listed the ingredients in the Mega Thread of Mapping (Valve Overview Tutorial). EDIT: After seeing screenshot, I say that you check your brushes to see if they are extremely excessive in number before waiting it out. Select everything on the map and go to the bottom of Hammer and tell us how many brushes are selected.

use -fast for vis untill you do the final compile.

Here's that select everything Optional

And Dj-Ready I dont undrstand that -fast for vis thingy.

 

[DragonDude]

On your compile settings, add the -fast parameter to the vis command.
This'll make it less thorough, but it'll finish faster.
It says 190 brushes, that many shouldn't take 2 hours to pass vis.

Looks like you have a crack in there, if it is all one brush then I am not sure of the problem. By the way what do you use to compile? Hammer? If so try ZHLT GUI or Batch.
