google 'print screen'.

More Information

Capture the active window or whole screen with Capture and use TinyPic to host it for you.

More Information

Thankyou all...

More Information

OP just use the 'print screen' key then open 'Paint' from your Start Menu and paste the screen shot there in MS paint. Save it (with your CPUZ shot) as a JPEG to your desktop, then post it online at Imageshack. Then insert the Imagshhack file in your post.

Also I found on hosting site to host the images...as you suggested, I store the image as bitmap and uploaded it and paste the link in message.

Probally has to be JPEG format.

The quality after compression is horrible, when using mspaint so I prefer bitmaps though we need to bare the extra bytes...

More Information

I don't bother converting it to a jpeg either and tinypic takes it. Uploads would be faster but that's why we have broadband. The problem with print screen is that you have to capture the whole screen and crop it, instead of only capturing the active window.

If you want to use a good free editing program to crop/convert photos, then use GIMP for Windows.

More Information

If you press Alt+PrintScreen, then it captures the active window alone. So, you don't need any other additional tools. Great that you endorse the opensource tool(GIMP).

More Information

I thought there was a way to do it when I said that. I never use it, I like Capture better.

More Information

Yeah, I just used the ALT+print Screen for the first time. Now I can open Photoshop and paste that screen shot in PS by holding down CTRL and V.

LOL. I can't get that program Zorg posted to work in Vista 64? I did manage to flash my BIOS on my maximus Formula just now. Now to see if S3 'sleep damit' works properly! LOL.

Woohooo...sleep works in Vista 64 with the new BIOS. LOL. Sorry for outburst and hijack atempt. Now gotta get it wake up without asking for my password.

More Information

What hijack the OP has been answered, hell he's giving the info on the whole alt thing.

 

I didn't think about Capture not working in Vista, I'm glad I know now. The program has been around for a long time. I suspect they have no designs on updating it either. Another good reason to not get Vista. :lol:

Yeah, I read the info (Intro anyway) and installed it. It installed, but would not launch? I uninstalled it. Then went into X86 programs and found the master file for it. Vista would not let me delete it until I restarted the system. I then deleted the program file associated with it. Then I ran a quick CC registry clean. Gone...LOL! I wish it had worked, it would have probably been better than doing a upgrade for a 19 year old, firm chested long legged office assistant I know! LOL.

well, I got my airbrush last week. Paint comes today (company shipped it to the neighbor yesterday and my neighbor refused it!). So, I'm going to do a case mod this week. Or as I like to refer to it, 'a messterpiece'. LOL. I didn't know paint was considered hazaradous material and required an adult to sign for it. I wasn't allowed to drive to Fed Ex and pick it up at their facility either. Just so 'ya know should your order any hazardous material like...paint?
