can someone tell me how to capture/print screen and put it on the www, like in a post?

Press the Print Screen key (usually located above the num pad) and tehn go to paint, and click on edit -> Paste. Save the file (should use jpg format). Next, find a host. http://www.photobucket.com perhaps. Upload the file, and get the URl to it. Come to this board, and when starting a new topic or replying, click on the little icon that shows an image. Inside the tags, insert that URL. it should now display properly

OK, I think I got that, except there is no option that I see to save as a jpg, only as a bitmap. How can I add that to the save as file type options?

In Paint, click File, then Save As...
Then from the Save as type drop-down menu, select JPEG.

the only options that show in mine are all bitmap formats. NO gif, jpg or whatever, ONLY bitmaps.
How do you get the other formats to show in the drop down save as type choices?

Save it as .bmp and then convert it using Irfanview

You can use Irfanview, or PaintShopPro 7

To capture the entire screen press Print Screen.

If you just want to show a panel hold down the Alt key and then press Print Screen.
