i see pics of screens that people have copyed, they look exactly the same as the proper screen, how do you do it???

 

press "print scn" on keyboard

load paint

goto "Edit" then "Paste"

then save

 

when i go to edit i just have 'paste from' available i have a button with 'prt sc' on it inside a small box with insert written above it, i asume thats the right one?

 

yea thats the 1 m8

 

but like i say when i go into paint and go to edit, theres no 'paste' just 'paste from, any ideas

 

when you go into paint press CTRL and V at the same time.

 

when u press "Prt Sc" it does a screen grab of the current highlighted window

if u do "ctrl - prt sc" it does everything viewable.

 

still not workin, any chance you could run through EXACTLY what you do from the start, i am shit at computers so easy as you can please

 

you mean like this










But as said, prt scr then paste into paint and save

 

if i press the 'prt sc' button by itself nothing happens at all, should i be pressing summit else with it?

 

Just Press "prt scr" (Nothing will have seemed to have happened), open Paint, Top left of page, Edit-- Paste and Job done


File-Save as


Save it as a JPeg too

 

aint no 'paste' there just 'paste from'

 

I would say print screen and show me but you cant LOL


"paste" is 5th down on the drop bar...

 

REINSTALL

if i get ANY probs with the laptop, i fookin nuke the lot and reinstall xp

mind u i do it every month anyway

keeps its runnin fast as fook

 

press the 'PrtSc' button

open paint (Or another paint program)

put mouse in the centre of the screen

right click

Paste

volia

Save picture as a .JPEG not a .GIF or a .BMP

any problem report back as i'll be here for a while

 

Cheers guys worth knowing

 

right clickin on paint in the middle of the screen does absolutely nothin, no menu's or anyhiin

 

Have you any other paint programs except from Microsoft Paint?

 

nah mate, not that know of

 

is it a latptop? if so you might have to press the Fn button at the same time (the same as you do for all the keys that colour )

 

what operating system are u running?

dont sound like XP

Press control and the screen print button

Then load paint

The control and V

When you open up MS paint what are the menus up the top listed?

On internet explorer say File Edit View etc etc what does yours say?
