How do I take screen shots? And how do I retreive them? I have a question to ask, but I need to take a screen shot of something as an example.

I personally live by Faststone Capture. Very useful and simple. www.faststone.orgHowever their site is down right now..  However traditionally I think it's like Crtl+Print Scrn or something. |

I dunno...where'd you save it?
I don't think I got the keys right. I never do it any other way than Faststone. (Thanks to SimplySibyl for teaching me about FS by the way!)

hi guys codey - press your Print Screen Button by itself. Then, do you have a graphics program? Paintshop Pro? Photoshop? even Irfanview? if not, open up Windows Paint. Just paste the image you captured by doing print screen in there. (edit/paste) THen save it to your hard drive. Then.. go here: http://www.imageshack.us/Press the Browse button find the file and open it up into imageshack.. Press the host it button AFter the upload imageshack will give you the link to post it here. If it is a LARGE image please post it as a thumbnail. Imageshack will give you the code to do so |

For thumbnails you would choose the second code: Thumbnail for forums (1)
For normal pics that are not very big it wont give you a thumbnail code.. choose the first code .. Hotlnks for Forums (1)
