Call me thick but i dont get it! what is it supposed to be a screen shot of?

panther · 25-01-2009, 19:49

uploaded mine...looks quite boring lol

MargaretR · 25-01-2009, 20:15

I just have shortcuts on a boring grey background, so haven't entered.
This is a strange comp - it feels like a request to view the contents of my handbag

I would have a go but having a Spanish keyboard I can't quite work out which is the 'print screen' button!

I'll work on it and then bore you all with my pathetic effort.

I have tried to do this but my efforts are not recognised when i try to upload them, so I must be doing something wrong....so i have decided to give this one a miss.
My screen is pretty boring anyway...and my desktop is littered with rubbish.

flashy · 25-01-2009, 20:45

why is mine taking sooooooooooo long to upload??

panther · 25-01-2009, 20:45

press this button, when you are looking at your desktop, go to paint...press Ctrl v, and voila, save and upload

panther · 25-01-2009, 20:47

taking too long to upload?, your pic could be too big, or not JPEG.

Margaret Pilkington · 25-01-2009, 20:47

OK, will try that, but you'll be sorry if it loads....not a good shot at all.

Margaret Pilkington · 25-01-2009, 21:00

Well it did say that my image had uploaded, but I can't see it in the gallery......well not in the special competition anyway.

flashy · 25-01-2009, 21:04

Margaret Pilkington · 25-01-2009, 21:08

flashy · 25-01-2009, 21:16
