Alt-PrtScr, open your image software, file-new, then paste

Re: How do I do a screenshot?
If you want some quite powerful Image editing software for FREE then may I recommend "The GIMP"
Download it here http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ Install this first http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gim....6-1-setup.zip then this http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gim...86-setup-1.zip (you need to download the zips then run the installer inside it) |

Re: How do I do a screenshot?
If it needs installing go to
Start-control panel-add remove programs On the left menu select "add remove windows components" "Accessories and details" and click "Details" "accessories" and click "details" Put a tick in "Paint" OK Not sure but I think it will ask for your windows disk Last edited by K.S.H; 18-03-2007 at 22:03. |

Re: How do I do a screenshot?
You save the image in IrfanView as a JPG. Then it depends on the website you are trying to post it to. You need to either attach it to a post (most forums will let you do this up to a certain file size) or you need to host the image somewhere. as in webspace. Most ISPs give you a small amount to use or there are places like Flickr, PBase, etc that will give you unlimited photo hosting for ~£13/year. Ebay offer hosting of images at a certain price/image. You should consider how much Ebay ing you do and how many images/year as it may be cheaper to pay Flickr. (IIRC Ebay charge 12p/image so it looking like over 100 images(not auctions) per year and its cheaper to use Flickr)
