This is something I learned several years ago and
would like to pass on for anyone who needs to send a screen shot, for instance..you have an error that you want to show someone, or you're seeing something on their site that they're not seeing. Send them a shot of your screen. Just press the print screen button on your keyboard This puts what you see on your screen on your clipboard. Now open up start/programs/accessories/paint After you open your paint program, just hit ctrl v to paste. Now save the screen shot as filename.gif or jpg (bmp is too large) Now you can send it via messenger or e-mail by clicking on the send file or browse button and send the picture to them. -------------------- |

Thanks for all the info
Actually, I have Windows XP, but I do not have the paint program in my accessories. Not sure why?? I do use Gimp, so will try that. How does one do it with Firefox? -------------------- |

Unless you made a custom version of XP like I did... you definitely have MS Paint (although, I don't recommend making gifs or jpgs (png is ok) with it, as it's compression algorithms are a mess -- download irfanview instead.) -- here's what I would recommend Rooster. Click on your Start button. Click on Run Type 'mspaint' Click OK If you have Paint installed (and I'm 99.7% sure that you do), it will launch for you. You probably misplaced or accidentally deleted the original shortcut at one time. -------------------- |
