Hi Guys, It's me again. How do I take a screen shot and post it as an avatar. The avatar can be no more than 100x100 pixels and 10kb.

Thanks all.My system is Vista.

You will need to upload the picture to a file hosting website like Photobucket

I use www.fileupyours.com

Then you link the file to your signature

Code: [Select]

Okay so all I need to do is: Place the scene on the screen; press "Print Screen; then...Is there an easy way to find out where the photo is? I know that I'll need to browse to find it. But I always get lost by then. We can avoid my posting again if you step me through this.

Thanks

Pushing "Print Screen" will not save the picture of your desktop. It copies the picture to your clipboard. To save the picture, go to "Paint" in your start menu, click edit in paint's menu bar and click "Paste." Now save the file wherever you want.

With MSPaint, you can resize the image or cuts parts out so you can post a screenshot of a specific area in the picture.

Just the name. Everything else is fine. I think it's a very simple site but I haven't really tried any other.

How to take a screen shot

Open up your Web Browser.
Or from the desktop. (for desktop screenshots)
Look on your keyboard and there should be a button (usually in the top right corner) that reads PrtSc or Print Screen, press that button.

Once the PrtSc button is pressed, Open up Microsoft Paint.
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Type in MSpaint
- Press Ok.

Once Paint is open
On the Menu bar click Edit > Paste

On the menu bar click File > Save as...
Choose the Save as type click the drop arrow, and choose Jpeg
Choose the save to location as the Desktop.
The click Save.

...and, if you have multiple windows open and just want a screen shot of the 'active' window, use: alt+Print Screen.
