Here’s a quick tutorial on making a screen-shot of what you see on your computer screen for posting.
First, get to the place where you want to capture the screen.
Hit the “Print Screen” or “Prt Scr” button. It’s located in the upper right portion of your keyboard.
Now go to START > RUN.
Type “pbrush” in that window with no quotes. That opens paintbrush.
Go to EDIT > PASTE.
That will paste your screen to Paint Brush.
Go to FILE > SAVE AS and name your file. It’s easiest to save it to the DESKTOP so you can find it.
In the forum, when making a new post, click on the PAPERCLIP icon.
Click on the first BROWSE button and then navigate to your DESKTOP.
Select the file you just saved, and then UPLOAD it.
Now post your thread, and your picture will show up.
---------- Advanced --------------
While in PAINTBRUSH, you can use the CROP tool to select just a portion of the screen-shot you grabbed.
Select it, then go to EDIT > COPY to copy the bit that you highlighted.
Now go to FILE > NEW (and select NO for the SAVE option). Once you have a new palette, go to EDIT > PASTE to paste the bit that you just copied.
Now save it and post it as usual.
