HOW DO I MAKE A SCREENSHOT (CAPTURE)?
To capture everything on your screen just push the "Print Scrn"
button (next to the f12 button) then you need to open up a paint program, most people have "Paint" or paintshop, and open
a new file then paste (some paint programs you need to import from the clipboard). The pic then appears there, save as a jpeg
or gif as they are nice and small never save as a .bmp way too big.
(Press Print Scrn--> Click on Start--> Programs--> Accessories--> Paint--> Edit--> Paste--> File-->
Save As...)
To capture just the top window, which is what you would do to just show us an info card, make sure that window is on top
and highlighted. Then press "Alt" and the "Print Scrn" button at the same time, follow the "Paint" or paintshop proceedure
and its ready for public viewing.
