Just get your screen the way you want it and hit the 'Print Screen' key, then open a graphics program like PS or PSP or even MSPaint and then 'Edit/Paste'

I don't mean to sound stupid, but where is the "print screen" button?

It should be to the right of your F12 key, left of the Scroll Lock on the top row of the keyboard.

Thankyou so much. I have never really paid attention to those buttons.

Well I got my screenshot, but everytime I try to upload I am told I have an invalid screenshot filename and to check it and try again. Can someone give me the upload details please. Thanks

What have you named it and what format is it? I think it has to be a .jpg, and for the filename a-z and 0-9.

I named it Spring Time and it is a jpg

Did you name it Spring Time.jpg with a space? If so try removing the space and see if that works. Not quite sure what else would be the problem.

Garret please watch your language. If my twelve year old talked like that he'd be spitting soap bubbles for a week. Click on the link then click on the item that says "download page" then choose a place (like the desktop) to save it. If it doesn't automatically start this time click on the link that says if your download does not automatically start click here.

Garret, please keep that kind of language out of here
